How can I configure the Default TV channel using Media Portal 1.3 beta?
When switching on Media Portal I'd like to see the first TV channel I've configured in the "TV-Server configuration" tool.

thanks,
thomas d.

    When entering the TV screen

    • Auto turn TV on when entering My TV - Default: off
    Turn on this option to have TV automatically start when you enter the TV section in MediaPortal.
    • Directly show fullscreen TV - Default: off
    Turn on this option to automatically switch to full screen mode when TV is turned on.

    I think this is not what Thomas is asking for.. He want to set a default channel that is always tuned when he starts live television..

    As far as I know this is not possible, but it would be a usefull feature.. You can do a feature request Thomas! :)

    I'm not 100% sure if when first opening mediaportal (fresh start) the above starts with first channel or most recent channel.

    Is there a way to set which channel tv starts up on, it usually starts on digital channel 1 and I have to change it ti av6 for my sky reception. Sometimes it will start on av1 which I then have to change to av6. Would be great if it would start on sky.

    According to Wikipedia, Windows only uses code pages other than UTF-8 to support legacy (mostly 32 bit) applications and supports two code pages in addition to UTF-8 (OEM and ANSI). According to Microsoft, UTF-8 has been the preferred character set since 2019. If TV Server (or its import routine) were using UTF-8, then umlauts...

    Well, the log doesn't show any problems. I can see correctly tuned channels in the log. It seems to me that the tuner works fine. Can you copy the created ts file(located in your timeshift folder) somewhere else while in channel preview and try to play it in VLC or MPC-HC? PS: You can also try to make short record

    Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

    I also have never used a set-top box with MP, but I think that you need to use an IR emitter (aka "IR blaster"). The IRSS software controls the emitter, and transmits IR signals under the direction of MP. The IR signal is received by the IR receiver within the set-top box, and so can be used to change channel and so on. The set-top...
