Hello verhoef,

1) Now I can only look TV on the client, but I want also look TV on the server
Wich configuration mus I follow ????

You can install the MediaPortal client (+ MediaPortal Client Plugin) on the TV server PC as well in order to watch TV on this PC. Each PC on the network which has the client installed shares your TV-Server.

2) What does the program latest svn build, why I have used it

The latest SVN build is the most recent patch for the latest stable build. So you need the latest stable build (0.2.3 RC1) + nightly SVN build to get an up to date version of MediaPortal.

install TV server

What is the different between mediaportal 02.3 RC1 and svn build
I think that mediaportal is use on a standalone computer an svn build on de client in a network with TV-server on the server. On the client I have need also the client plugin of the TV server.
Is that true ?????;

SVN build = 0.2.3 RC1 + latest patch (the patch is called "SVN build").

Is that true ?????;

MediaPortal (=0.2.3 RC1 + latest patch) is an application which CAN be used as standalone MediaCenter software. If you however want to stream TV over your network you need the MediaPortal TV-Server on the pc with your TV-card. You can watch TV afterwards on any PC on your network which has the MediaPortal 0.2.3 RC1 + latest patch installed. You MAY as well install this MediaPortal 0.2.3 RC1 + latest patch on the PC with the MediaPortal TV-Server (which contains the TV-Card) to watch TV on it.

hint: you need to install the tv-server client plugin on all PC's you like to watch TV on. This plugin is contained in the MediaPortal TV-Server download.

SVN is development-version.
There are updates and bugfixes every day which go directly to a central repository. And once (sometimes twice) a day it's compiled to a installable version.

after such a clean installation, "MyTV" is in "Plugins" section on homescreen.

you can change that in MediaPortal Setup -> Plugins
right click the MyTV Plugin -> "Show on Homescreen"
