I have cable service coming in through xteve, and I have an hdhomerun for OTA channels.

I’m stuck, I can have guide from either the cable (works) _OR_ OTA (also works) but I can’t have both.

Any idea if this is a feature being worked on?

It’s something Plex is aware of, and is apparently working on; though I’m not sure where/if xTeVe would fit in to this new feature. The last part of the 3rd paragraph is where it is described:

Nice. I didn’t line up search terms near enough to find that.

I use schedules direct and download my EPG for cable and OTA channels using epg123 and then importing the xml file in to xteve. xTeve detects the 2 HD Homerun tuners and I add each tuner as a play list. Then map the channels to the epg.

I do not run the channels through xTeve in Plex. I add the tuners as normal but for the guide data I use XML TV and point that to xTeve.

I’m trying to avoid stacking up too many subscription based options to get this working. I am using xteve because it allows for tuner sharing and transcoding which is pretty awesome (if I can get past one issue with plex)…
