I have created a utility to generate an xml file which I use to update the channels I am getting. I have used it and the channels are visible now Thanks.

Questions/observations/feature request .....:

1) The thing is that the xml I have generated keeps on changing as the cable company keeps on shifting the channels around. Very very irritating but that is how it is. So I have to keep on importing the file. Is that a problem?

2) I have added channel logos to the Channel Logos folder, but they dont show up on the guide. Is the matching between channel names and logo file name case sensitive?

3) I had to restart the TVServer service after enabling/configuring the plugin before I could access the TVServer tuner from the mmc.

4) In LiveTV, clicking on "Start Live TV" the first time starts VLC with that channel. Clicking on it the 2nd time opens another instance of VLC instead of re-using the first VLC instance.

5) Can I import my groups from TVServer? They are already set up in TVServer and I dont want to do it again.

6) Is there a file where all the channel + group settings are stored? Once FTR is set up the way I want, I would like to save these 2 settings specially.

7) Is there any plan to add live tv through the web interface by using the VLC activex plugin? I think this would be a very useful feature.

8) How can I install the mmc on another pc (which is not running the FTR service) and have it connect to the FTR service on the remote pc?

I apologize for posting such a long list of question etc. Thanks once again for such an excellent and versatile piece of software I must also add that the manual is also very well written.
