[QUOTE="ears, post: 1026736, member: 83203"] Thanks Owlsroost I'm sure part of this is me just trying to push more than I can out of the server. When I bought it, I needed a NAS so bought that as it would do the job for not much more money and give me more versatility. But I think I'm getting carried away with it now and forgetting its limits, like you say. It's not in a RAID config so disk access will be a bit more bottlenecked. I think I'm happy in the single seat config now. Response times from TV server are noticeably improved and discontinuities have been almost wiped out. I rather suspect that DVBViewer and MP process streams so differently that there's no point in comparing directly, especially now the number of discontinuities in MP is so low. So I'm happy - thank you! After at least 3 abortive attempts over the last few years to switch to MP - I think this time it's worked. I've always wanted to use it - it's the only real one stop solution - DVBViewer is very good at TV but the interface and usability are lacking; XBMC is a good media centre but the TV interface and functionality are lacking. And DJBlu's modification saves me so much time in channel and channel group organisation and EPG capture, it's the real icing on the cake. [/QUOTE]
