[QUOTE="falkyre, post: 43912, member: 19127"] Ok, here's the deal..I don't have your normal setup and without some major home reno, I probably will never have it. I am running digital cable that runs over existing coax from the Set Top box. I have all of three real TV channels on the coax (4, 8 and 11) but I have digital TV piped through those 3 channels. My Set Top box is in my Computer Office not even remotely close to my TV. I want to sse MP as the main TV/recording system....This is working except for the fact that I can't change channels from the EPG. I can't run RCA cables to my HTPC, it has to be the coax. I am tuned to channel 4 on all EPG channels. I can "change" channels using girder network client to send to a girder running on my main system and then use USBUIRT to change the channels on the STB. What I haven't been able to figure out is how to change channels in the EPG. The only remotely clse thing that exists is that if I map to external channels, I could do it by launching the girder internet client using the MPExtCmd plugin. However, if I use this it is expecting that the input is running on my Svideo or composite and I have nothing running on those. So my question after this long winded post is.... :?: Can I fake out the external channel changing somehiow such that I am still "tuned" to channel 4 but send a command everytime a channel is changed? :?: This is my last piece to getting the HTPC as my main TV device. MP is performing way beyond my expectations...this is the last piece. Thanks for your upcoming help! Falkyre [/QUOTE]
