[QUOTE="Mew, post: 951678, member: 29012"] Hi Paul To answer your questions: 1) Yes those settings are correct. 2) BSkyB shows as the provider on a lot of the channels and this is OK. The issue is whether they are encrypted or not. As long as they are not encrypted you can view them in MediaPortal without any sort of decryption cards. Freesat itself is just the Electronic Programme Guide, they do not broadcast channels (although it does appear that Fashion One shows up as Freesat). For channels such as BBC and ITV (and many others), both BSkyB and Freesat boxes show exactly the same channel using the same satellite signal. The BSkyB box uses the BSkyB EPG (which will determine channel number) and the Freesat one will use the Freesat EPG. Incidentally, to enable the Freesat EPG in MediaPortal rather than using the standard DVB-S now and next info, in MediaPortal - TV Server Configuration go to DVB-EPG -> Radio EPG Grabber and tick Freesat Info. It can take a little while for initial population but this will give you a 7 day EPG for those channels on the Freesat EPG. Hope this helps Mew [/QUOTE]
