I used to have my setup doing this somewhat ok - I had 3 groups, one for my ivtv tuner input, one for composite (sat receiver input), and a webcam. I could switch between them without problems. One thing I didn't do though was to say one channel was provided by two groups for redundancy. I think you'll need to dig a bit more and add some logic. It's been so long since I've looked at the 1.5.x code, and we don't really care to since 2.0 is "close". BTW Freevo 2.0 can / will be able to do what you're trying. -Rob -- ------------------------------------------------------- Rob Shortt | http://tvcentric.com | Freevo [EMAIL PROTECTED] | http://freevo.sf.net | Free your TV
