(and this might get a little complicated - apologies in advance <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite1" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":)" />)That channel number field is used for two purposes:1. By the blaster as the channel number that the blaster tells the STB to switch to.2. In the tuning process for an analog tuner. Channel number + country ==> frequency.That is a conflict right there if you're using the tuner (as opposed to the s-video or composite input) to receive the signal from the STB like you are. Why? The STB is providing its feed on a single frequency, so you want to tune the tuner to that frequency and make it stay there but still have the blaster send the channel numbers. Problem is that if you have different channel numbers (as you should to get the blaster working) then the tuner will change frequency, and if you have the same channel numbers then the blaster won't work.Solutions?1. Enter the frequency of the STB output in the tuning detail. This overrides the channel number and manually sets the frequency that the tuner tunes to. In case you're not sure of what frequency the STB is using, you can find the channel number in the tv.log. I can also give it to you if you post the logs here (use <a href="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/18_Contribute/2_Testing_and_Bug_Reports/WatchDog" target="_blank">the watchdog</a> with option 3 "export all currently present logs" to create the zip file to post here).2. Use the s-video or composite output of the STB instead.In practice solution 1 doesn't work so well. I really *strongly* recommend that you take solution 2 if at all possible.It should have been installed with IRSS, but you need to enable it. Open TV Server configuration, click "plugins" on the left - it should be listed there - and then tick it. Note that you do *not* want the "serverblaster" plugin. When you tick the plugin you should notice that the "plugins" node on the left becomes expandable. Expand it and click on the "TVE3 Blaster Plugin" and you should now see the plugin configuration.Note: you will need the updated plugin DLL from --><a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/ir-server-suite-irss-165/mediaportal-1-2-1-patch-ir-server-ir-functions-disabled-fix-thread-100944/#post793431" target="_blank">here</a><-- for MP 1.2.1.mm</blockquote>
