[QUOTE="level20peon, post: 186861, member: 28613"] Set-Top-Boxes have their own channel mapping as far as I know. The Box ITSELF scans for channels, you also change channels via remote control DIRECTLY within the Box. So just the resulting signal which contains the decoded video and audio information is put out via Composite. The TV card in your PC won't do any channelscan at all, it would just pass through the composite signal without changing it. I don't use and have never used an external video-source inside MediaPortal. But a simple forum search came up with two possible solutions: 1. Solution 1: [URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/supported_set_top_boxes-t18767.html?t=18767"]link[/URL], I have no time to read it all for you but you should have a look into this topic. 2. Solution 2: Do a search for "composite" with "search titles only" enabled in the MediaPortal forum. There are tons of topics which deal with the need to use an external video input via composite. A tip for the future: please do a search before asking questions that have been discussed plenty of times before. This is no insult or something like this but the forum (every forum) becomes redundant and since supporters are limited in time and number it becomes more and more impossible to keep track of relevant things. -level20peon [/QUOTE]
