[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 986981, member: 82144"] Hello laserheat First, let us clarify one thing... It does not matter how you select the channel that you want to view - whether using the mini guide, full guide, entering the ch# with the remote, or entering the channel index with the the remote... using remote, keyboard or mouse. None of those will make any difference whatsoever to the number that is sent to the set top box. So it really shouldn't matter if you have select channel by index ticked or unticked etc. etc. etc. What does matter is triggering MP to tell TV Server to start TV or change channel. In other words, what I'm saying is the problem is that whatever you're doing right now... it is not a method that MP recognises as "oh, laserheat wants to change the channel now", because MP is not telling TV Server to change the channel (and hence blaster commands are not being sent). Given the above, I suspect there is a misunderstanding about how zapping works in MP. As I understand it and off the top of my head, if you want to use the remote to zap directly to a channel by entering its number, you must be currently playing full screen TV. To say that a different way, if you're in the guide and you want to start a particular channel by entering its number, you first have to start full screen TV [on any channel], then enter the number of the channel you want to zap to. If I'm right with my previous comment then this will not work because MP doesn't support it. If I'm right with my previous comment, it would be good to confirm... What happens if you start watching 201 in full screen, then you enter the digits 212? I'd expect if your remote is working and the blaster is working then you should be zapped to channel 212. mm [/QUOTE]
