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.

    Hi, I'm wish to be able to watch the recorded TV (*.ts) files on my Sony Bravia Android TV but cannot. The default media player app does not support the file type. So I installed VLC.

    I had the same feeling about MP1, nothing was working out of the box, it was full of hardcoded dependencies and bugs. That’s how I came to MP2 and I’m very happy with it ;)

    I have never used DVB-S/S2 (satellite), but I do use DVB-T/T2 (terrestrial), and I think that the behaviour would be the same. Generally, when performing a rescan, the recommendation is to select the Enable channel movement detection setting. Wherever possible, this will cause TV Server to: Preserve the channel selection status...
