[QUOTE="Neville, post: 694063, member: 79947"] Hi Did this for some time and have only recently changed to a server/ client setup. So can be done successfully. The main reason I changed was got sick of the Hard drive noise in the lounge and wanted the geberal computer out of the lounge and back in the office! On MP config you set the start screen name (ie Screen 2 - TV) on the general settings. I had to play around getting various remotes to only work the MP client when there was someone on the computer and thus and stolen the focus. In the end used the Haupaugge remote with event ghost and message plugin to ensure all MP signal got to MP in spite of any focus. Worked well but is certainly a lot simpler having a dedicated MP client to avoid all this sort of thing Now have the MP server running in the office with TV recording, music etc and made up a client computer running a SSD drive (ie silent) with i3 processor and much better set up. Client is near silent. Always off when not used. Power scheduler wakes up the server as needed etc etc. The server is used as general computer as well with no problems (well not major anyway) Good luck Neville [/QUOTE]
