[QUOTE="lm, post: 145532, member: 19521"] Ya the manual editing approach might hold the key... But it seems to me that the little piece of magic that I would still need to know is how to control the 22khz on the skystar2 from inside media portal. Because adding what you said to what I have gathered from reading elsewhere, it's sounding to me like the way mytheatre does it (by entering a switch freq value of 12200 or 12700) was some sort of kludge... but then again, I am grasping all this by a thread.
