[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1141683, member: 82144"] Hello again You're right that green channels are meant to be not encrypted (and therefore, viewable) while red channels are (and therefore, not viewable unless you had a CableCARD tuner). Getting this marking right is actually not easy, and currently TV Server doesn't always get it right. However, in general you should expect that [I]most[/I] red channels are actually [U]not[/U] viewable. One way to cross-check TV Server's markings is to use the "test timeshifting" function. That function tests whether each of the selected channels are timeshiftable, and unticks those that are not. If a channel is encrypted then it will not be timeshiftable. Therefore you would expect almost all red channels to be unticked if you ran that check. You edit the channel's tuning detail and tick the "free to air" checkbox: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/Add_or_Edit_a_Channel#Editing_an_existing_channel[/URL] I'd like to emphasize again that this is not something you should expect to be doing for a lot of channels. With difficulty. Is the scan picking up the channel and getting the information wrong (=> untunable), or is it not picking up the channel at all? If it's the first case, it would be easier to correct the existing channel than add a new channel from scratch. In both cases more details about the channel (ie. how you know it is missing; as much detail as you have about the channel [name, number, frequency etc.]) and log files would be required.
