I don't know if you were aware, but unlike WMC (which requires one tuner per channel viewed or recorded), TV Server can use one tuner to receive all the channels from a given frequency. Therefore with TV Server and your 16 tuners you could theoretically record every channel available... twice over (!!!). Note that you may hit HDD bandwidth limitations before that point... but still, pretty extreme. Another way of saying this: with TV Server, you actually don't need more than 2 6205 cards. The other 2 cards won't ever be used, so you could sell them.Getting back on topic... <img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />The tuner associations are as follows:card A = tuners 3, 4, 5 and 6card B = tuners 7, 8, 9 and 10card C = tuners 11, 12, 13 and 14card D = tuners 15, 16, 17 and 18Ahhh, I thought that might be the problem. I'm glad you were able to figure that out, because the client logs don't include the detail I'd have needed to tell you what was wrong.Yes with MediaPortal 2; not directly with MediaPortal 1.MediaPortal 1's server component ("TV Server") is solely dedicated to TV. It has nothing to do with music, video, pictures etc. The server will enable all clients to see the same channels, channel groups and recording list (once the client has been connected), but the rest including video folders has to be configured per client. Having said that, there's nothing to stop you setting up shared folders on the server (or a NAS). Those folders just have to be configured on each client. If you wanted to, you could try to configure one client, then copy the configuration and databases to each of your other clients. Actually, there is a plugin called <a href="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/plugin-mpsync-mediaportal-multi-seat-synchronization.117417/" target="_blank">MP-Sync</a> that does some of this automatically for you.On the other hand, MediaPortal 2 has been designed from the ground up to work as you suggested. Media locations are configured once on the server, and the clients get access to them automatically when connected. This may sound perfect... however, you need to be aware that MediaPortal 2 is still a work in progress. That means it isn't as feature rich, there aren't as many plugins and skins, TV support isn't as stable/polished... but other aspects like the server-based configuration and general stability are better than MP 1. If you like the sound of this and would like to give MP2 a shot, you're able to install MP2 on the same PC as MP 1.Regards,mm</blockquote>
