[QUOTE="samsonious, post: 277708, member: 77427"] I'm using TV Server RC1 and would like to set it up with my STB. As my Server machine isn't near the STB i would like to use the RF output on the STB to input into my Server. This part works but its my understanding that the "external" channel setting was removed and its just assumed to be external if not tuner. Enter my problem, i need to use the tuner not cvbs or svhs.
