[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 751675, member: 82144"] Interesting - there should only be one per channel. Please delete all except the first one. I could be wrong, but I think you want SPDIF #2. SPDIF #1 is the audio that comes through HDMI. My understanding is that WinTV and MC7 only allow you to watch the channel that is "currently" tuned on your STB (or external tuner). If that is the case then you *can* receive live TV like WinTV or MC7 once you have the YRYBY channel configured. That is assuming that your codec settings in MediaPortal config->Codecs & renderer->TV tab are set up correctly. If you want the full cable lineup in MP (which is what I thought you were going for) then you have to add the cable channels somehow... and you have to set up MP to control your STB... and most people would want EPG information. Those three things are the things that are the complicated bit, and unfortunately since I don't live in the US and I don't have anything (let alone a Colossus) with a blaster (which is what you use to control your STB) I am really unable to offer advice about anything other than the first part (getting the channels into MP). I'm glad to hear that and I'm here to help in whatever small way I can.
