Very easy, but a bit of work....

1) In the MediaPortal Setup - Tool, open the 'Television' section.
2) Now go to the 'TV-Channels' section, and create/edit one of your channels.
3) Go to the 'External' tab, and change the 'Type' to 'Recieve by external settop box'
4) Next select the 'Input via', and change it to 'CVBS#1'...
5) Now if you are going to change channels on an external device using a IR-blaster device, input the channel number into the 'Channel no on settop box'

If you have multiple tv-channels, you will have to follow the same steps for every channel.

thanks for your reply

the main problem is i dont have this tabs :-(


see pictures... (this are not my pictures) do i have to remove media portal and reinstall?

[geov]

This is the first time I have seen someone without this tab, you must be special

You did not by any chance install the TV-Server plug-in did you? I don’t know if that could cause this, but like I said this is the first time I have ever seen anyone say that the "External" tab is missing.

Try reinstalling, but I'm just guessing

the truth is i don't know exactly what i choose... i have left the default options on almost every thing....


what i have is

1 pc dedicated to mediaportal
this pc has no other clients... just the TV connected via S-video from the geforce. and the set-top box connected it the hauppauge via composite...

what options should i choose at the installer?

You did not by any chance install the TV-Server plug-in did you?

not that i am aware... but i have 3 mediaportal icons on the desktop.

i am not at home at the moment... ill check later exactly.... but i remember
the mediaportal icon. that starts the blue GUI fullscreen.
and 2 other mediaportal icons... one is the client options...

and one is the server options... it also opens the database user and pw window and than server options...

should i have 3 icons?

thanks

someone else told me the options have moved to the analog tab at channels

can't find the external source option.
