[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 890614, member: 82144"] Hello Steve Yes, there is something of a conflict over the use of the "channel" field. As you say, it is used for tuning the tuner to the correct frequency, and it is also used as the number blasted to the STB. I guess back in the day nobody envisioned tuners being connected to external sources with coax. There is one possible workaround for you - specify the frequency for each channel. The frequency should override the channel number, allowing you the independence that you need. I think channel 3 is something like 61.25 MHz. Don't quote me on that though - you might need to experiment. This topic is discussed -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/settop-box-blasting-issues.97714/']here[/URL]<-- at around page 2 and 3. I note that ultimately mystraven found it was unreliable to use the coax. I hope you have better luck, but ultimately if it doesn't work I don't think there is much we can do to "fix" it short of adding an extra "blaster channel" field... and that solution would not come fast I'm afraid. Good luck! mm :) [/QUOTE]
