[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 786745, member: 82144"] Hi graemef What is so hard to comprehend. There is nothing out of the ordinary from a normal analog-with-blaster setup. Nothing. If you have a blaster working already then you know what is required. I'm happy to try, but to be honest I'm not sure what you're confused about. The Colossus supports receiving composite, s-video, component and unprotected HDMI inputs from and STB. It digitises them if necessary and allows you to view the source video on your PC. The thing that makes this setup so awesome is the fact that HDMI inputs work, and that you can combine a Colossus with set-top-box blasting to control your STB from MP. The first part is as simple as connecting a cable and the second part has been possible already for a *long* time - there are instructions -->[URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/17_Extensions/3_Plugins/IRSS_(IR_Server_Suite)/Set_Top_Box_Blasting"]here[/URL]<--.

All the SchedulesDirect stuff is irrelevant to you, which means you have to create the channels in MP manually, but if you already have an analog setup with blasting then you know about that, you know about blasting, and you know about using [URL="http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/13_Plugins/XmlTv"]XMLTV[/URL] for EPG.
