[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1072308, member: 82144"] Hello AncientYoof The principle is straightforward: you have to create a copy of your component input channel for each of the channels that your set top box can receive. Once you have the channels it is possible to link them to EPG. The problem is that creating the channels is easier said than done. Don't get me wrong; you can do it, and it is not technically difficult. It is just extraordinarily time consuming to do manually through TV Server configuration. It may be possible to take short cuts by using the import/export function coupled with a text editor. Sorry, I don't have the time to provide detailed instructions for you. Unless you have a blaster (ie. something that allows your PC to control the set top box), adding the channels in MediaPortal will not enable you to record the channels at will. You'll simply end up recording whatever channel is currently selected on the set top box. Setting up a blaster is another task altogether. Maybe this information will help a little: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/IRSS_%28IR_Server_Suite%29/Set_Top_Box_Blasting#Configuring_TV3_Blaster_Plugin[/url] MediaPortal was not designed for this, so what you're wanting to do is not a 10 minute task. Plan for hours... and don't assume that you'll succeed. mm [/QUOTE]
