Multiple HDHomeRun Devices for OTA

[EmbFinPlex 3]

From searching the forums I can see that there are instances of users having multiple HDHomeRuns but couldn't find my specific scenario. 

I'm in the metro Detroit area where I can get OTA stations from Detroit, Windsor, and Toledo. Combing antennas is typically not a good experience so I was considering having an HDHomeRun for an antenna pointed towards Detroit and an HDHomeRun for an antenna pointed towards Toledo.

Can the separate HDHomeRuns be be combined in Emby to get channels from both markets?

Hi, yes you can do this.

Thanks for confirming. How does it work? As in, there will be some overlap in channels so can you select which channels to display from each device?

You'll have a separate EPG assigned to each tuner. There may be some overlap but you can disable channels and chose the stronger signal only.

I also used the favorites function on the HDHomerun channel lineup page and then in Emby set each tuner to "Restrict to channels marked as favorite".  This prevents a lower signal quality channel from inadvertently being used by Emby.

Does having sperate EPG's mean that you'll have separate guides?

No. You'll have them in sequential order though.
