[QUOTE="Marcusb, post: 40089, member: 11550"] If you want to keep the RF configuration that you currently have, you don't need to know the frequencies of all the channels, as the STB outputs all the channels on a single frequency (the one that the TV or MP tunes into). Since the channel changing part works fine as it is, what you will need to do is configure a channel in MP for every channel you wish to recieve. Make it an analog channel with the correct channel number that you are using (ie, make STB Channel 009 = 009 on MP too). When it comes time to set the analog freq, use the same freq for every channel, since they are all comin gfrom the STB anyway. This way, MP will think it is changing the channels when you select them from the guide, but in reality it is changing to the same channel and the STB is doing all the work. This is by no means the best way of doing it. I would still suggest using the external input method with the RCA cable. This should still give you better quality than the RF method that you are using at the moment. In order of quality, from least to best it goes: RF RCA SVideo Component HDMI/DVI Hope this helps In regards to the BSOD, use Motherboard monitor (MBM). it can monitor the temperatures and act accordingly. The bonus is that the MyStatus plugin can read its output so you can get the info in MP as well, along with a history of highs and lows. [/QUOTE]
