[QUOTE="stephenv, post: 1055324, member: 145465"] The configuration of the TV Channels was the most labor intensive part of the server setup. While it might be argued that "you only do this one" the problem with this is that you're going to repeat some of these steps a hundred or more times because you've got to set up every channel that you want to use with a Colossus card individually. I have subscribed to the SchedulesDirect service (configured later in this thread) for the EPG data, so this set of screen captures reflects that part of the setup already having been done. "TV channels 1.png" shows the set of configured channels, this is the tab that you do all the work from, picking a channel and then hitting the edit button to bring up the dialog shown in "tv channels 3 - edit channel.png". Here I initially edited the Channel number field that was set 10000 to be the correct number, but later I discovered that was not necessary. You have to check the "visible in tv guide" for all the channels you was to see in the guide listing (which is a useful feature), but it should probably default to this state. The edit button here takes you to the dialog shown in "tv channel 4 - add edit analog tuning detail.png". I think that once I had configured one channel for each card to the appropriate video and audio source then all the rest were fine. Because you can't "scan for channels" with a Colossus card you need to do a manual channel scan to determine which channels in the EPG you actually have and disable the ones you don't. I didn't have to do anything in the TV Channels/TV Combinations configuration (tv channels 5 - tv combinations). In the TV Channels/TV Mapping configuration I had to map the available channels that I wanted to each of the cards. This is the same list for both cards, so duplicate effort as shown in the two screen snapshots. [/QUOTE]
