[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 970836, member: 103549"] Tested it on 1.3RC and I can state is does NOT work on my setup - TV Server and Client are separate systems (so my set up does not mirror Topospeleo's from system specs). I moved existing entry (so I was 100% certain of syntax) to bottom of section. Ran MePo, opened TV, got expected channel, changed channel, closed MePo, rechecked the XML and the channel is over written, as per Stig's comment - sorry. As channel is simply entry in Mediaportal.xml (and .bak file), I could easily script a change, but that would be outside of MePo and not in keeping with MePo mindset. Possible solution : two entries exist: "channel" (as is for current) and "default_channel" (for start up - defined in config TV section). On start up "channel" value is set to "default_channel" - rest of code & logic would hopefully remain untouched (suspect it's way more problematic than that - looks simple != is simple:-> Personally, neutral on this one, not something I have a need for, only decided to look as something I could test easily and gave me reason to have a quick look at TV section of XML.
