The External Recorder only works with Transport Stream data (currently) and the process of scanning for the channels in the TS should get it configured to record.<span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><br><br></font></span></div><span class="HOEnZb"><font color="#888888"><div>John<br> <br></div></font></span></div></div>
