Changing Channels incorrectly? (1 Viewer)

[jackelmatador]

Hello Everyone,

I am new to MediaPortal and have been comparing it to GBPVR. I must say that MediaPortal is much more user friendly and a much better media center. GBPVR does have some great advantages such as automatic inclusion of comskip (MediaPortal has a plugin but no on the fly commercial skipping). I imagine this will be included soon so I am not to worried. Both programs are a little slow at times, but I am upgrading my computer this weekend so that should help, Core Duo T2600! 2GB DDR2 667, ASUS N4L-VM mobo.

The only major probelm I am currently having is that whenever I watch live TV if I enter channel 11 MediaPortal sends me to channel 12. Any ideas on why this happens? I suppose it is not too big a deal I can always enter the the channel I want minus one, except channel 2 (CBS) does not seem to work. I will play with it some more tonight to see if my recordings worked properly or if those are also coming up wrong.

Thanks!

Are you in the US? If so that's the issue. I added something to MP Setup about channel selection by index. I am at work and do not remember exactly where in the Setup it is, but I think the Television area. It is a checkbox that defaults to the non-us style. If you set this to the US method it may work for you.
