[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1153518, member: 82144"] Okay. :) First thing we're going to do is set up a proof of concept. [B]STAGE 1[/B] - determine correct channel configuration 1. Open TV Server configuration. 2. Go to the "TV Channels" section. 3. Delete all channels (select first channel, hold down shift key and press end key, click delete). 4. Click "add" to add a channel. 5. Enter name "Test 1" and the channel number of a favorite channel ([B]must [/B]be something other than channel 3 or 4). Leave "visible in tv guide" ticked. 6. Click "add" to add a tuning detail. 7. Select "analog" and click "OK". 8. Fill in as follows: [LIST] [*]channel = same channel number selected above (this is the number sent to the STB - very important!) [*]frequency = the frequency of the RF/coax channel. From the screenshots you posted I'd expect you should use either 61.25 MHz (channel 3) or 67.25 (channel 4) depending on the switch on the back of the converter box. [*]input type = cable [*]country = United States [*]VCR signal = (I don't actually know - probably doesn't matter) [*]video source = tuner [*]audio source = tuner [/LIST] 9. Click OK and OK. 10. Repeat (4) to (9) for a different channel. Call it "Test 2". 11. Expand the "TV Channels" section in the left hand pane. 12. Go into the "TV Mapping" sub-section. 13. Select the tuner that the STB is connected to up the top. I suppose you could choose either analog tuner 1 or analog tuner 2 since there is a shared RF/coax input for ATSC/NTSC TV (so I think the signal from the STB will be available to both tuners). 14. Select the 2 test channels on the left hand side. 15. Click ">>". At this stage you should be able to use preview in the TV Channels section to view both of the test channels. Currently the blaster is not configured, so you should only expect to see the STB's current channel. The blaster will come later. If you do [B]not[/B] see the STB's current channel then we will need to stop and resolve that before moving on. Please advise. [/QUOTE]
