[QUOTE="lulsam, post: 259884, member: 28181"] I have more or less the config you mentiion up and running: - 1 box running TV server and MP: HVR-1300 hybrid card and STB Pionner attached to the RCA por (not S-Video but IMO this is basically uninportant) - 3 boxes in different rooms running MP - Sometimes just for testing I use another MP running in a laptop How to config: 1. Run TVServer config 2. Go to channels tab 3. Click on add channel 3.1 In the opened popup first tab Write the channel name 3.2 The second tab should be labeled "analog" or sth like that, write the channel number as it is in your STB 3.3 Same tab: Do not write anything to frequency (should be 0 by default) 3.3 Same tab: Select cable instead of antenna 3.4 Forget the country combo as (I think) this is unimportant unless you select "antenna" 3.4 Same tab: Select the port the STB is attached to. In my case I think is CVBS#1 (I am writing this without the config in front of me) 4. Accept all changes 5. Assign the created channel to your analog card 6. Optionally you can add it to a channel group (if have so) With these steps you should be able to see any channel you selected in your STB through MP interface. I will recommend you to check if it works out prior to go ahead. Do not forget to attached properly both s-video input and sound input cables to the card (I know, I know this is a stupid suggestion, but sometimes is better to double advice) Once you checked everything works correctly, we will configure MP to be able to change the channel in the STB with the MP remote and obviously with a blaster. For this I use the absolutely wonderful IR Server suite from and-81. I understand there are another ways like the plugin TVServer has but this works perfectly for me. 7. Set up an additional channel as it was stated before 8. Install and configure IR Server suite.
