[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 776097, member: 82144"] Okay, that is good. You're correct - you can't scan for channels with the Colossus. That is why I said you need to use SchedulesDirect to add your lineup to TV Server's channel list. Either that or you have to add the channels manually using the "add" button in the TV Channels section. Once you've added the channels you should be able to see them in MediaPortal, and assuming that you've linked them to the SchedulesDirect data correctly you should also see guide data. The next step (which I think you're already aware of) is that you need to set up a blaster if you want to control the STB.
