Nope the Hitron only supports 24 downstream channels. Quite a few areas are having the 32 channel upgrade I’ve been told, but it’ll be on a need basis not a blanket basis. The channel ID is just a label, it’s irrelevant to anything to be honest, so as you’ve noticed your modem will lock on to 24 of the 32, and in theory there should be a bit of load balancing done by the CMTS to evenly distribute
