[QUOTE="The_Stig, post: 1019869, member: 12276"] Thats gonna be a lenghty reply. Trying my best to explain the situation :-) It works as far as I know for the following situation: you have one main channel (e.g. "Sky Portal") from where you can start every time you like to watch sports. Depending on how many current matches are played, the linkage scanner finds the currently on-air channels when going into ContextMenu. So the linkage scanner is not really scanning related in regard to SetupTV and its scanning there. Don't really know, as I've never used it. One way for sure is the way the linkage scanner works (as described above) Yes, only glitch I have seen so far is that they get renamed first time when channel name changes ("Sky Bundesliga 3" changes to the matches name "Dortmund vs. München"). But it doesn't rename itself back. What I've done here is do a manual rename of these channels. After that they don't get changed automatically. For me it looks like a bug that the automatic renaming is only allowed once per channel. They are real channels that operates at certain times (mostly when soccer-matches are being played. I mean for me personally I like it more to have a Sports-Group with all potentially available channels in them ("Sky Bundesliga 1" to "Sky Bundesliga 13"). I don't like that portal stuff. Its way more complicated: 1. Open Portal channel; 2. Open Context Menu; 3. Choose desired channel. And another point is: if I want to schedule a programme on a channel thats currently off-air...how do I do it? Not possible. If you have these channels in your TVGuide, you can schedule it (at least if EPG-Data is good enough) For me, yes. Maybe make it an optional check in TV-scanning? I guess this is mainly due to some changes in Sky-Germany programs lately. Haven't seen myself many unknown channels. I only have to rescan when I do a fresh install of MP. Else these programs stay. The renaming of these channels is only temporarily (depending what match is being broadcasted. It may be not the best possible solution. Cannot tell about this really. But its working a 100% perfect for my usercase. I would no want it any other way. But I totally understand if other users like the portal way more. Then it would be the job of linkage scanner to work good. But as said: I myself didn't use it for ages, so I cannot tell if it works good or not. Closing words: great to have you back on that issue,mm. And count on me to test anything you like to have tested. [/QUOTE]
