[QUOTE="Anthony Vaughan, post: 1141057, member: 153283"] Hi CyberSimian Thank you for your comments. I have tried separating which tuners I use for WMC and MP. The problem for me is that I have four TBC quad-tuner cards. WMC labels the tuner by card instance and the tuner within the card; the first card would be something like 'TBS 1' and the tuners would be 'TBS 1 1', 'TBS 1 2', 'TBS 1 3', 'TBS 1 4', 'TBS 2 1', 'TBS 2 2' etc. MP only displays the tuner number within the card, but does not display which card each tuner belongs to. This makes it very difficult for me to use both WMC and MP. Of course, there will be no guarantee that MP (even if it did display the tuner card number) will assign the same tuner card number that is assigned by WMC. This makes things very difficult because since I configured WMC to only use three of my tuner cards and guessed which tuners MP can use (by recording 12 programs simultaneously using WMC and then trying to scan for channels on the four remaining MP tuners) the MP client says there are no available tuners. It looks like it is going to be very risky for me to try to run WMC and MP simultaneously - WMC is my live system for recording and watching TV.
