hdhomerun on slingtv

[zippy]

I have a HDHR5-4K. I recently noticed that when I use the slingtv (blue) app on Roku(4660) in the Home menu a line labeled "From Your Antenna" appears. It seems to contain almost all the channels from my hdhomerun - sorted from major channels first then minor.

When I played one, the built in hdhomerun GUI showed that an actual hdhomerun tuner was being used. My Roku does have the Roku media player installed. My Fire TV Stick doesn't seem to have this capability. Seems like a nice feature. Is it suppose to be a feature. Doesn't seem to support Sling DVR.

I just came across this myself today while using the Sling TV app. I wasn't sure how it was getting access to my local channels and it took a long time to load a station. But, then I noticed it was there in the Roku settings under Local Channels > Source> HDHomeRun. This all happened with no intervention by me. There is a big negative, though, the "video controls are restricted" and I don't think you can record on the Roku. And it is very picky like it just said to restart your box, and then I tried another channel and it came right up. Still, nice integration.

There doesn't seem to be any announcement of this capability or how it works. As an example, the channel order in "From Your Antenna" seems to be the ascending primary virtual channel for each of the RF's in your favorites list. Followed by the sub-channels.

I wish I could figure out how to just paste a picture, but here is my screen: (EDIT: Removed Picture Link). Notice it just says "Local". There is no order that I can tell. There are no channel numbers at all.

Like I said. For a physical (RF) channel the channel's prime channel is listed first by ascending virtual channel number and all the sub-channels are somewhere else. Otherwise ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox in your area have no sub-channels. And the order of the sub-channels is unknown
