[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 986970, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome Danny Setting up OTA should be easy. Setting up a blaster setup is about the hardest thing you can attempt to do with TV Server because TV Server is simply not designed to support blasters. Few people use blasters, so they don't encounter the problems you're having. What exactly have you done or not done? Are you following the guide here?

There is a trick to speed that up: create one channel as per the instructions here: [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/3_IRSS_%28IR_Server_Suite%29/Set_Top_Box_Blasting#Getting_channels_into_TV_Server_Configuration']http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/3_IRSS_(IR_Server_Suite)/Set_Top_Box_Blasting#Getting_channels_into_TV_Server_Configuration[/URL] ... then use the import/export section of TV Server configuration to export your channel list. Open the XML file in any text editor and use copy-paste to create the channels that you need. Much faster to work in a text file than do it all through TV Server configuration. Once you're done, reimport. With the IR blaster... have you enabled and configured the TV3 Blaster Plugin in TV Server configuration? That is installed when you install IRSS, but you must enable and configure it in order for TV Server to actually blast to your STB. Also one trick for the new kids: make sure you restart the TV service after enabling and configuring the plugin, otherwise the plugin isn't properly activated. MediaPortal has nothing to do with the blasting. mm [/QUOTE]
