Hello, I wonder if anyone does know how to change the channel tivo sends to the receiver when it does want to change channel. I want tivo to send to the sky box 993 whenever tivo goes to channel 103.

Ages ago I edited the mfs database, I guess that I will be able to remember it, I just only need help to find the resource to edit.

Why? is sky 993 your local itv channel in the UK? (e.g. ITV London, or ITV Tyne Tees)

Use the ChannelMap module with TiVoweb.

Or untick 103 in CYR and tick 993. If 993 is not listed do a manual record on 993, 993 will then appear in CYR as Sat 993.

That's the one. You'll need to recreate any SPs.

Long story, using in Spain Tivo + SKy, I have in 103 on the Sky box ITV Meridian South. and I stop receiving that at 21:00, 993 (ITV London) is receivable all day. So I want to be able to use 103 as usual on the tivo but let the Tivo select 993 when it wants to select 103.

If they have diffeent callsigns, as they presumably do, just have both active in Channels I Receive and set your SPs on the callsign as appropriate.
