MediaPortal Forum - View Single Post - DVR-MS files vs .TS Files

Hi,

Just to make sure I understand this....

I thought I had installed MediaPortal.
Are you saying what I actually installed was Media Portal and something called 'TVServer'?

Assuming that is correct, and I can uninstall TVServer (via control panel?) and then run Media Portal, it will still display the TV channels, its just it will now do so using its internal code, rather than the TVServer code, and doing this will create dvr-ms files rather than .ts files when recording.

I wonder if this will solve my other problem with no picture for the analogue tuner channels? (subject of another post).

Back to this post....
So, given that there are 2 ways of setting Media Portal up, what are the benefits of using TVServer vs not using TVServer?

Regards
Graeme
