[QUOTE="Mugsy, post: 750920, member: 112940"] I just installed MP yesterday, and really only want it to do one thing: open up the TV on schedule. Is there a way to launch MP so it opens to fullscreen TV on [B]a specific channel?[/B] I've also repeatedly tried & failed to retrieve any EPG information (it may be because I edited the scanned channel list to include the channel numbers?) But I'll save that question for another day. Primarily, my #1 interest is the above. The TV in [B]Windows Media Center[/B] can [I]silent record[/I] a specific channel on schedule, but not simply open to a specific channel when my favorite programs come on. Another TV program I've used, Hauppauge's WinTV, can [I]open[/I] to a particular channel if I call the program with the four-digit channel number passed as a parameter, but it won't [I]change[/I] channels this way once it is already open. And BOTH programs can only schedule a [I]recording[/I], not simply open Live TV on schedule. Any ideas on how to do this? :thx: [/QUOTE]
