So A feature request might be to have media portal use a shared database. which can reside on any shared location in the network?
that way all would be the same, regardless of the machine you are watching?

I am kind of wondering this also. Can you change the location of recorded tv files? I would like the recorded TV shows to be recorded to another PC on my network.

A great benefit of this would be this scenario...

You are watching a movie on your MP box in the family room. Sleepily, you define a bookmark.
After brushing your teeth & slipping into bed, you fire-up your bedroom MP box, and pickup right were you left off because the boolmark is accessible to all MPs everywhere....
