After searching the forums for a day I have a question that I haven't found an answer to. Firstly, I am connected to the NTL analog cable service with a General Instrument CFT-2100 STB. This box currently connects to my VCR, DVDR and TV (daisy-chained) using coax cables. The terrestrial channels are available as normal with the 'cable' channels avaiable on a different frequency.

Now to my question :) Is it possible for MediaPortal to achieve this? If I want to watch BBC1 the tuner changes to ch27, but if I want to watch SkyOne then it must tune to channel 57 and then change the cable channel to 07. I hope this makes sense and I hope that this is possible. Regards, Ian. [/QUOTE]
