Hi. If you need TV on more places than you have Antenna available, a Client/Server setup is the only way to go. It always is possible to use the TV Server and one Client on the same PC and other clients on other PC using the TV Server on first PC... If you have TV available everywhere (IPTV as example) then you can use one or more...

Hello Yes. Yes, 4 tuners required. Size depends completely on the provider/channel. Lifetime of the SSD depends on how much writing you do and the rating of the SSD. Maybe refer to here for an example: https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/things-i-have-learnt-from-using-mp-that-might-help-others.122355/page-3#post-1043016...

cool, ... thanks ... My Son-in-law doesn't have big plans for the system, just as a DVR and to catalog his CD collection. They already have a streaming box (don't remember the name) for online TV viewing and movies, but he needs local program recording since dropping cable. He will be setting up a RAM drive for time-shifting. He...

Already found my answer on this part of the FAQ http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/13_Setup_Guides/2_TV_Setup/0_TV_Card_Features/1_CAMs Seems that the Alphacrypt has most decryption software. My cable provider uses Irdeto encryption, so the Alphacrypt module seems like a good choice.

There is a performance difference in write speed between the pro vs non pro, but with running an HTPC write speed is not important. The read speed is essentially the same. TV-Server doesn't need that fast a write speed. The onboard memory on the pro version might be slightly more robust, but if you were worried at all about SSD...

Yes, you definitely could set it to do that, LCD Smartie is very programmable, bit of a steep learning curve on how to get it to work, but sort of fun! If you get stuck I can share some of my code with you then you can mess about with it. The info you need is here: http://mp.codeplex.com/ http://virtuallcd.codeplex.com/

MP1 MP2 Ongoing Build a HTPC DE
If you want fanless PSU I recommend Seasonic X-560, basically the PSU fan comes on only if the PSU overheats or if the load >50% (280W, which will never happen in most HTPCs), so basically its a fanless PSU at a regular price with the added safety of a fan if required :D

Went for one of the DC to DC 200W supplies and works well. Have decided that the case is just too big though and really want to change to a Server/Client setup as I just want a really tiny silent client by the TV. I used an old Xbox power supply for the PC and it's just too noisy.
