[QUOTE="Jay_UK, post: 687431, member: 98509"] Hi there, The use of "extenders" as such is not supported, but Mediaportal itself does support client/server. This is where you can have a server with the TV tuners, and a central store of your content, etc, feeding to clients (these would be classed as your extenders), but would in theory have to be PCs (something like a small nettop) running windows with Mediaportal client. The hack mentioned above is not directly supported, and can have problems (if two clients are performing updates/changes at the same time - the DB is only designed for single use). To get it to work correctly, you will have to ensure only 1 client is actually configured to manage/update the DBs (the other clients are purely configured to read from the DB only) Another option (which I do) which is not as efficient (and will depend on you size of content and number of clients) is to run local DBs on each client, and let them manage their own DBs.
