[QUOTE="doubletop, post: 247804, member: 70118"] I have been searching the Forum and Wiki for confirmation how to setup analogue inputs and control the STB without luck. I have a PVR 350 with my STB connected to the composite 2 input. I know it all works because I've been running SagetV through this config for over 3 years. 1) In "TV server" I have selected the analogue card and selected "Add SVHS/VHS channels" and get 9 channels added under "TV channels" I can select each of them in turn and preview and get various combinations of B/W video, Colour Video, Black screen sound or no sound. This seems to change when delete and re-introduce the SVHS/VHS channels or select de-select the channels. I am suspecting that I am only getting input as a result of having SageTV running before I shut it down and started up MP TV server. I never have them going together. I am not certain that MediaPortal has actually taken full control of the card. [I]The Wiki is very light in this area so could somebody please confirm I am on the right track at this point?[/I] 2) If I am; I assume that I now have to establish which input channel I am really connected to, lets say it is CVBS#2 which is most likely as I know I am connected to composite video channel 2. Am I correct in assuming that I now have to manually enter each STB channel through the "add" screen and name it after each of my STB channels for example "Disney" and under the Analogue tab set it to Channel = 40 (as on the STB) Freq = 0 Antenna = Cable (but is probably don't care as freq is 0) Country = "Afghanistan" (because I don't care and its the first one in the list) Source = CVBS#2 (If this is correct can I suggest that Antenna and Country get greyed out if freq is 0 then there's no confusion.) [I]Please can somebody confirm I am still on the right track or is there an .xml I can edit to set all the channels up?[/I] 3) I now assume that to control the STB I need to use TV3 to control my blaster, but I'll save that for another day as I have UIRT2 controlled by Girder so anticipate a few issues in hooking TV3 ext channel changer to Girder. [I]But if somebody could point me in the right direction with that I'd appreciate it.[/I] I've been dabbling with this for a few days now and am impressed with what I have seen so far. In general the documentation is very good but biased towards DVB-S and DVB-T and I have both of these running fine with an HVR4000. Its the analogue area that's a bit light and only really addresses analogue off air recording. [/QUOTE]
