[QUOTE="ukmgranger, post: 19736, member: 14480"] Sage TV essentially runs as a service and a UI. I think that this is the best element of Sage! It means that once the server is running (which is just incredibly stable) it just runs in the background and does all of the recording of shows etc. This allows you to play with the UI section of the program (ie change decoder setting etc.) without fear that the whole program will crash. If the UI does crash, the service remains running in the background. This also means that you can have just the service running on your main machine, and your client machine can just 'log-on' to it, as it were. I don't actually know anything about coding or programming structure, which is probably abviouse from the description I have just given. I can only imagine though that turning MP to this sort of setup would be a huge undertaking. I do think that in terms of stability this is the way forward. And it allows for server/clients [/QUOTE]
