I get live-tv in MP through capture cards (Hauppague Colossus) connected to set top boxes. It would be relly nice if there was a TV-server plugin that reacted on the channel change event in the TV-server and ran an executable (.bat/.exe) with the channel name/number as a parameter. That would give me (and hopefully others) much better contol over the channel changes. For example you could use the plugin to generate an event in eventghost and control the STB with a blaster which works in Eventghost (and of course do a lot of other stuff i you want).
I have tried the ServerBlaster-plugin, but it only supports the Hauppague IR Blaster which I find unreliable. I briefly tried the IRSS but it was complicated to set up and I never got a grip on how it works.
I think that the Plugin Events section in the wiki could be a good help to anybody who would be interested in developing such a plugin:

Also, NextPVR has an option to trigger an exceutable on channel change which works really good:

Hopefully someone more than me are interested in this plugin
Thank you!
