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.

    Sorry, it's my fault -- I did not notice that you are using MP2. :( MP1 has a separate configuration utility, similar to "TV Server Config". I have tried MP2 only a couple of times, and have never used it seriously. I don't know what MP2 supports with regard to adjusting audio delay, but I do know that all of the adjustments of...

    @CyberSimian Sorry, I missed your last post. I ended up doing a clean install on the client and all is well now. It still doesn't let me go back in time when I change channels but it does continue operating from that point on. I'm ok with that. Thanks for your help! EDIT: I now downgraded the server (as I did with the client above)...
