[QUOTE="MSMP, post: 161262, member: 27012"] HI staticman, I was trying (not successful) to have 2 star choice STB's to be the source for my HTPC. Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get the second one to work, neither on MP 2.3.3RC1 nor TV3. There is a dual problem for me: 1. IR blaster server doing weird (can't start IR server anymore and I don't know why. I have reinstalled it few times with same result. Never got it to work well at all.) 2. One STB is SVHS other is Composite. Seems in MP/TV2 that is an issue. Mixed inputs seem not to work only with some weird settings I manage to get signal on composite input. What I do is using the first with SVHS as an external controlled STB with IR blaster. The second one as one channel only (CVBS1) this will read the Composite signal. (Don’t as why, just trial on error and I know; it doesn't make sense at all) I will have to manually switch channels on this box, as there is no IR blaster on an internal input. However, I can use it to see another channel while recording a show on my first one. And with manual record I can record a second show (unfortunately no recording info) My hope was that TV3 could solve this issue, but wasn’t successful using the Server blaster. (Didn’t know about IR server suite yet at time of setup. I might try again once I get the IR server suite working again.) IR server suite is definitely the way to go but I never got to use it as during configuration it crapped out and I can’t even load the software now. (Not going to reinstall the whole XP on this one either, so hoping the Great Aaron can find a solution for me. LOL) Even with some Upgrade pains and beta testing for the new upcoming release, I still like MP over any other available (free and payable). The .Net environment was the right choice. We have bigger fish to fry in the near future though. Zap2It is discontinuing the service for free. Actually won’t even do it if you pay them (I’ve offered to pay for the service, even offered to put up a commercial licence and extract on a secure connection data to my server and then redistribute to the MP community. But nope no answer) I don’t believe it has to do with abuse and bandwidth, to me it is all about politics and protecting the content (cable/satellite) providers (their customers). Sorry got site tracked and off topic. [/QUOTE]
