Schedule playback of TV station in a zone?
« on: November 23, 2011, 06:25:00 am »

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if it is possible to have MC17 begin playback of live tv (a particular station) in a certain zone on a schedule automatically.
e.g.  Let's say I have music playing in the zone the previous evening.  I would like to have MC automatically start playing the audio for a certain TV channel in that same zone at 6:30am the following morning automatically.  Is this possible?

Thanks

Just wondering, if I used a networked TV tuner e.g. HD homerun (Kaiser Baas now, I think) would MC see this as a TV tuner or a video stream that could be played by the scheduler?
Has anyone setup something similar or used the networked tuners with MC17?

I believe they're seen as tuner devices.

Yes, the HD Homerun tuners are seen as tuners in MC.  They can be scheduled using the TV scheduler.  They work great with MC.

I know you can use the scheduler to stop playing, but I have not tried using it to start playing a channel at a certain time.
