Wait, so if I have a HDHomeRun Dual that has two tuners, then I'd map both tuners to the same network since they have the exact same muxes and services?
I tried that originally and I couldn't watch anything while the DVR recorded something with the 1st tuner. I'll turn on debug and see if I can see exactly what it's doing, but can you confirm that I'm supposed to map both tuners to the same network?
Thanks!

Double click on a heading to sort (and again to reverse the sort). To filter, hover over the heading and click little drop down arrow, select filter and enter appropriate info.

So you can enter say "5w" if that's what the network name is and that's all you'll get. Then select and map, one shortcoming atm, is that you can't use the "map all" option. As it ignores the filtering (that's unlikely to change anytime soon, my UI skills are not good).

You have no direct control over which services are available on which tuners, this is fundamental to the concept of a single service within a network (to remove duplication and simplify multi-tuner setups). This is only marginally different from pre-merge, in that you could choose not to map a specific tuners values to a channel. This was done to keep things simple and it was decided this was an unusual requirement.

You will basically have to set-up a network for each tuner, you will presumably end up with the same muxes in each (though you have the choice not to do this) and then you can choose which services to map to channels. Just make sure you name your networks sensibly so you can clearly identify what you need to select from.
