    Hello,

    I know this feature of my DBox2(Neutrino).

    It would be great if I could press a Button and set a Timer when the advertisement on TV begin. After the timer ran off, MP shifts back automatically to the original channel.

    Could you be a bit more precise, how this should work?
    Right now, I can't imaging what this really should do or help me in any way?

    Regards
    Ralph

    You watch TV on Pro7 and the advertisement begin.
    Now I set a timer(e.g. 5 minutes) and change the channels (ARD, RTL, ...).
    After 5 minutes (expiration of the timer) MediaPortal shifts back to Pro7.

    Ralph, it gets its data from an unreliable commercial server from the internet. The tuxbox guys are allowed to use that data. I have it installed on my dbox, but it NEVER worked. In the various dbox forums you can read that it's super unreliable and rather never works than once in a time.

    If you set the timer manually, it works, of course. In case the plugin can't get the data from the internet, it presents a list with steps from 1 to 10 minutes you can choose. After that time it just zaps back to the channel where you set the timer. So you can call it a "Zap back after x minutes to this channel" plugin.
