*Thank you* for reporting the solution. :thx: For the future: problems that involve FTR should usually be reported on the FTR forum first unless they are clearly problems with MP/TV Server. In the case of problems with MP, you can use the watchdog (instructions and info in our wiki) to grab logs. It couldn't be easier! :D

Thanks, I do have the file now. I did search the forum and found some references where to look for it on my system... but it was the hidden folders that got me.

True, my system is getting on the older side. Perhaps it is just time for an upgrade. :) I actually used this system as a MythTV box for quite a while.

I guess the question is do we need to try to fix this. In RobNCD's case, the audio and video are encoded by his HVR 1600. I'm not sure exactly what TV Server does to wrap it into a transport stream (I'm hoping the screenshot that I requested will tell us that). In my case, the audio and video are encoded by software encoders (ATI...

Yes, it make sense, but ultimately the same comments apply. In the past I think the client would have connected to a "master" server that had zero or more "client" servers connected. The master server would have managed schedule conflicts. The effect would have been similar to having a client that is able to connect to multiple...

Hi lilmale1 Most TV satellites are positioned in what is called geosynchronous (or geostationary) orbit over a fixed position on the equator. As you've realised, when you want to use a dish motor to access multiple satellites, you're going to need to move the dish from left to right (or east to west...) to follow the arc of the...
