Hi gang,
After a long spel on Win MCE I finally decided to give the latest MediaPortal a whirl again. Last time I had major issues with the dvb-s scanning process crashing, so I turned to MCE, but MP is so much more configurable that I longed to try the new released version. So, I made an image of the MCE box, put the clean XPPro image back, and installed MP 0.2.3.0. Installation went well, scanning was slow but worked, but...
... the BSkyB group on Astra 28.2E (including the BBC and ITV fta channels) wasn't included. Repeated scanning yielded more and more new channels, but none of those I wanted. The 19.2E Astra CanalDigitaal crypted channels worked fine, but I want those British channels too!
Eventually, remembering (hopefully correctly) that the TVServer has a better scanning engine I gave the latest SVN nightly build a test, but that, too, didn't help. I even edited out the .ini files to include only the stuff I wanted, and while that dramatically cut down on the time the scanning took, it didn't yield the channels I wanted. Strangely enough, according to TVServer, many of the ones on LNB2 had "No Signal", even though it works perfectly in MCE.
So. As the family wished their tv back, I imaged the lot (thank god for external disks) and put back MCE. Is there any kind soul out there with a similar set up with just the CanalDigitaal channels on Astra 19.2 and the BBC and ITV channels on Astra 28.2 that can point out to me how they've done it? Or export the configuration or something?
