Remote Channel Change Issue

cursor · 2008-07-24, 14:48

Hi All,

I'm having some issues changing channels in MP 1.0 RC2 (and previous versions since I installed it a few months ago).
When I'm watching an analog cable TV channel, and I want to switch to, say channel 44, I'll press 4-4 on my remote and it will change to channel 45.
I've tried adding a 'filler' channel at location 1, because my cable channels start at 2, but that doesn't seem to help...
I've searched these forums, but the search function is pretty limited and won't let me search for ALL keywords.

I'm using the TV Server on a separate machine from my TV client. Even when running MediaPortal on the TV server I still get the channel changing issue. I know it's not a remote issue because when I punch in the channel number I can see MediaPortal display that number. eg, '44 (45 WPCH)'

Any ideas would be great. I'm pretty keen on resolving this quickly. The girlfriend is a channel surfer, so she likes to jump around between channels by channel number. I actually once caught her trying to hook the cable straight up to the TV... like I wouldn't notice...

Thanks!

Ryan

In the MP client configuration, go to Television and DE-select the "select channel by index (non-US)" option.
