The network connection is gigabit so don't think there's any limiting factor there.I also installed TV Server on the client, with a 2x3ghz AMD core (can't quite remember the model) and 2gb memory. It worked seamlessly but was timeshifting to an SSD drive. I'd ruled that configuration out previously as the Titan skin seemed to prevent wake from S3, causing the machine to reset and risking interrupting recordings. I've been monitoring processor usage on the ProLiant and while it's significant it's rarely above 60%. I hadn't considered HDD speeds before so hadn't actively looked to remedy that - I will have a look tonight though, thank you.My other option is to keep the single seat config on my HTPC and play with PowerScheduler++ to at least prevent the machine going to sleep while mediaportal is running (not hard) but I'm still not happy that I won't see any BSODs - I got one when rewinding through a channel change between HD and SD channels in the timeshift file the other day.If I do stick on the HTPC I'm going to have to work out how on earth to get the stubborn Skystar S2 PCI card that's in there working with MP. I only have one PCI-E slot available in the hTPC so can't bring both Blackgolds across, but will start another thread about that one!Thanks for all your help.</blockquote>
