Changing Channels In Scala
Thursday, 03/15/2007 -- by Anthony. Subject: Changing Channels In Scala
Me again! Ok so here's the deal. I'm using designer 3. I have 2 Pc's set up, the first is the Net Manager Pc, the other is the Net Player Pc. There is a LeadTek WinFast TV2000 XP Expert TV Tuner Card installed on each Pc. I also have the TV Tuner EX installed on both PC's. Everything is working fine, and I have a live feed pumping in. What I would like to know now is if it is possible to use Scala to change the channel of the feed being pumped in via scripting or any other commands that come with the basic Scala bundle without having to buy more accessories or using outside software.

In the "Release Notes" in your IC3 Start Menu, under the hyperlink "Advanced Scripting", "Scala Script Syntax", "TVTunerClip Command Syntax" there is a complete list of the parameters.
The variable "Channel" might be of some use...

You might want to add the text RTFRN in a large font to your interface and boxes, lots of stuff in Release Notes that solves about 50% of problems posted here ;o) !

Thanks for your quick responses guys. Unfortunetly neither response was very helpful. In regards to the release notes, I already new about the channel variable, and i changed the channel number from the "3" default to five or six different numbers ranging from "8" to "120" . The channel of the actual video feed did not change. ie the channel that it was showing was "Raptors TV", by changing the channel in the TV tuner EX menu made no difference, it was still on "Raptors TV".
In regards to what Marvin was saying about adding "RTFRN" to my interface and boxes...dude I have no idea what you're talking about. But thanks for the email that you sent in regards to the "webpage" in Scala.
You guys are still a lot of help! Thanks!!!

Aye, misunderstanding...
"You might want to add the text RTFRN in a large font to your interface and boxes"
Was aimed at Scala itself, meaning Read The F*cking Release Notes should be a part of the help text in the interface...
