Hello, noobie here (again)

TV channel scan has produced duplicate channels (see image for an example), why?

Is there a function/option to delete duplicates?

Thanks

PS. I have a dual dvb-s2 tuner card (TBS6981), is that why?

    Hello and welcome! :)

    TV channel scan has produced duplicate channels (see image for an example), why?
    I suspect each of the "duplicates" are regional variants.
    If you take a look on kingofsat you'll see the following versions of ITV 1:
    • London
    • Granada
    • Anglia East
    • Central West
    • Wales
    • West
    • Westcountry South
    • Border
    • Yorkshire West
    • Central East
    etc.

    Is there a function/option to delete duplicates?
    No... but it's relatively easy.
    In the TV Channels section, click on the name column to order the channels by name. Then all the "duplicates" should be listed together, so you can easily select and delete them.
    Note that the channels you delete will be re-added next time you scan. So, my advice would be to untick (not show in MP) rather than delete, and perhaps also create yourself a custom channel group for ease of management.

    Regards,

    I meant use MP client to try to spot how it's requesting streams for specific channels and then try to do the same with VLC. TV Server development looks dead so I'm afraid you're going to have to figure that out by yourself if it's even possible.

    4.5 is really old. I'm not sure 4.5.5 even is a version that actually existed. You should be able to install .NET Framework 4.8.0 on Windows 7 SP1

    Sadly, it seems that development of MP2 has come to a stop. Perhaps it will restart in the future. Meanwhile... MP1 has a "Tuning Details" panel that displays signal strength, signal quality, and picture resolution. It is updated in real time when viewing a channel: However, perhaps you are already aware of this, but prefer MP2...
