[QUOTE="Hefe, post: 1081631, member: 134515"] Not sure if this is even possible.. but here goes.. we use the MP server in our living room for the majority of our viewing.. and for the most part it works well. but now I am in the process of setting up another station in my son's bedroom and I would like his "settings" to be a little different than ours. for example, .. we use 2 Hauppauge colossus cards to pull from our 2 DirecTV HD Receivers, and the resulting file size is quite large, and this is not a problem for us because we delete what we watched, and the hard drive stays clean.. my son however records tons of kids shows and likes to keep them forever (he is 11 with Autism) and has no understanding that hard drives fill up, and the space is not Unlimited.. lol I would like "his" computer to record "his shows" in a lower quality (thus resulting in lower file sizes). example: .. everything recorded from the guide that is categorized as a "kids show" would be set to lowest quality. who needs a cartoon in "HD" anyway... and to make it even more difficult.. it would be great if "his" computer would save "his" shows to it's own hard drive(or any location other than where "non kids shows" are saved).. this way we would not even see what he recorded.. keeping us from sifting through 15 episodes of "Dora the Explorer" to find our shows and he wouldn't have to see what we recorded as well. thanks in advance ~Hefe [/QUOTE]
