[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1125819, member: 82144"] To create the channels? No. You [I]can[/I] use the XMLTV plugin to import SchedulesDirect data translated to XMLTV by mc2xml. However, you can't use it to create channels like you can with the SchedulesDirect plugin. As above: you can use it to import guide data, but you can't use it to create channels. It is pretty simple, but rather time consuming if you have a lot of channels. Some background: [url]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/Add_or_Edit_a_Channel[/url] Specific instructions: [LIST=1] [*]Go to the TV Channels section of TV Server configuration. [*]Click "add" to add a channel. [*]Enter the channel's name and number. Note the number does [B]not[/B] have to match the channel's number in the STB, but it usually makes sense to use the same number. [*]Click "add" to add a tuning detail to the channel. [*]Select "analog" and click OK. [*]Configure the tuning detail: [LIST=1] [*]Enter the channel's number. This [B]must [/B]match the channel's number in the STB. [*]Select the correct video and audio source. Refer to the bottom of the first post in -->[URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/hauppauge-hd-pvr-colossus-support.94850/']this[/URL]<-- thread for more info. Note it is critical to get this right. Most people use HDMI #1 [HDMI] or YRYBY #1 [component] for video, and SPDIF #1 [HDMI] or SPDIF #2 [S/PDIF] for audio. [*](All other fields including country can be left as defaults. They don't have any effect.) [/LIST] [*]Click OK and OK again to save the tuning detail and channel. [*]Repeat instructions 2 through 7 for all other channels. [*]Expand the TV Channels section and go to the [URL='http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/03_TV_Channels/2_Mapping']TV mapping subsection[/URL]. [*]Select your Colossus up the top. [*]Select all channels on the left. [*]Click ">" to tell TV Server that your Colossus can be used to tune the channels. [/LIST] Note: if you have lots of channels, I'd recommend to create and test a few channels to make sure they'll work before going ahead and creating everything. When you view/play any of the channels, you should see the current channel that the set top box is tuned to. If you want TV Server to control the set top box - ie. tell it to change channels when you change channel in the front end - then you will need to install and configure a blaster. [/QUOTE]
