[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1084174, member: 82144"] If I were you I'd install the SchedulesDirect plugin, sign up for a trial, set up your lineup, then it can create your channels automatically. Get it from the MediaPortal Extensions Installer link on your desktop or in your start menu Team MediaPortal\MediaPortal folder. Yes. Mappings link the channels to tuners. Group mappings link the channels to channel groups. Tuningdetail + channel is what you'd think of as a channel (though a channel can actually have multiple tuning details, which would imply it can be received in different ways). Yes. Yes. You have to fill them all in. The fields that aren't actually used should be set to the defaults, as per your example channels. It is probably faster and easier to create the mappings - both to tuners and channel groups - from within the UI. Focus on the channel and tuning detail records. They're the most important. As above: use the SD plugin. That's what the majority of people in the US and Canada use to do this task. You don't have to pay them if you decide not to extend the trial, but it saves a bunch of time with this setup. [/QUOTE]
