[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 920024, member: 82144"] Hello wefromo MP and WMC use the same channel table behind the scenes, so that is why the limit is the same. So, are you going to attempt to configure a blaster or use some other program to enable you to control the Dish set top box with MediaPortal? Alternatively, do you just want to get the feed in and continue to change channels on the set top box? The reason I ask is that there are a couple of ways to work around the problem. The simplest option that will allow you to confirm that it is possible to receive from the STB is to create a single channel manually as follows: 1. Open TV Server configuration. 2. Go to the "TV Channels" section. 3. Click "add". 4. Enter a name for the channel up the top. 5. Click "add". 6. Select "analog". 7. Enter [from top to bottom]: 73, <frequency of channel 73 = 824 or 825.25... not 100% sure, [URL='http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_broadcast_television_frequencies']check here[/URL]>, cable, United States of America, unticked, tuner, tuner/automatic. 8. Click OK. 9. Click OK. 10. Go to the "TV mapping" subsection under "TV Channels". 11. Select your tuner up the top. 12. Find the channel on the left and then click ">>". At this point you should be able to preview the channel to see if it works. Let me know if you get stuck - I'm here to help. :) mm [/QUOTE]
