I have 2 HDHomerun OTA tuners (both officially supported by Plex). I’m also trying out the HDHomerun Premium TV features. There is one giant caveat to using both OTA and Premium TV electronic program guide with Plex: Plex DVR only allows you to download/select a single source for EPG. E.g. you can select the HDHomerun Premium E EPG, and you’ll get perfect EPG for the HDHomerun premium channels. But at the same time, you lose the EPG for all your OTA channels, since you can’t match them to anything. If you select a Cable provider for EPG, like Comcast, you can match MOST of the channels, but some of the HDHomerun Premium TV channels are in a different time zone (some are in EST, some in PST - https://www.silicondust.com/support/faq/#what-timezones-are-the-hdhomerun-premium-tv-channels-operating-from), and Plex doesn’t let you select different time zones for different channels, which makes it unusable. Plex also doesn’t let you select different EPG’s for different tuners, e.g. I’ll be perfectly happy to use one tuner for OTA, the other for HDhomerun Premium. Alas, Plex doesn’t let you have more than a single EPG source, even when you have multiple tuners. This is quite an oversight IMO and is causing real grief. Please consider allowing users to have more than 1 EPG, e.g. allow each tuner to have it’s own EPG, or even better, allow us flexibility to select different timezones for each channel’s EPG.
