[QUOTE="JimCatMP, post: 913953, member: 103549"] Hi Recording is 'best' on server itself, but if you have the network capacity, recording to share is perfectly possible and reliable, many people do - being aware of permissions going in (so TV service can write to network share) seems to be key factor in getting it running 100% 1st time:-) Time shifting is generally best done in RAM if you have capacity - the TV server will give you guide on how much space you need for how far you want to be able to time shift. By setting up a RAM disk, your saving in disk/network traffic, power usage should be lower (and quieter) and as data is ephemeral anyway, not problem if it's lost on reboot/power fail. I have TV server running headless as pure server (dictated by where aerial point is and where I can run cable - my network is 200M powerline from server to client & RDP management box - I'm not allowed any cable-salad by wife;-? However, if your set up permits, the 'single seat' option is obviously the best in terms of system & power usage and the TV server process can still be accessed by other MP clients (so it your need changes, MePo is ready!-) Hope that helps - TTFN - JCMP [/QUOTE]
