[QUOTE="captcol, post: 790188, member: 52956"] Cheers and apoligies, The stability was the reason I moved away to win7, unfortunately that with xbox360 extender is incredibly stable but the limitations that a satelite tuner can only be tuned to 1 channel at a time not just the mux is a pain in the proverbial so with 2 tuners I can only watch or record 2 channels at once and of course the minister of internal affairs wants to record 3 programs at once. The other problem is that with back to back recordings it will cut the end off the first to start the 2nd one ... very annoying. I am in the process of simplifying our network and building in some redundancy hence looking at amahi or home server, There is talk of using home server in a virtual machine over the top of win7 to allow media programs to have access to tuners, has anyone tried this? Will MP run on top of home server anyway? This all depends on me being able to buy home server without the hardware. Thats why I was looking at Amahi as an alternative but as you said MP is windows only so I would have to run as a linux vm on top of windows, also possible apparently. There is a question in there somewhere and hey bleazle I remember your username from one of my previous return visits [/QUOTE]
