How to identify which lineup to choose with so many choices available?

[xe` 45]

How do you identify the best lineup to choose or combination of lineups?

I have a whopping 26 lineups available to my postcode. With my free-to-air HDHomerun setup I would have though that OTA or one of the other freeview options would be a perfect match and whilst a couple do a decent job there are always missing channels or mismatches.

I really dont want to try all 26 one by one to find the best combination of lineups.

Is there somewhere online or locally I can see the channels per lineup ?

Sometimes its easier to give an examples to add context, so EuroNews (Ch 257),  India Today (Ch 258), both via UK Freeview 

 

Edit: Am I asking for a Gracenote StationId to lineup mapping list?

Hi, yes this is true. We should probably have a way to preview the lineup. But usually in most areas there is only one OTA lineup.
