Hello SolusCado

Yes I think it should be possible.
During the install process, pay close attention at this step:
http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/12_Installation/1_Deploy_Tool/2_Advanced_Installation#Database_Server_(SQL)

Select SQL Server is already present and will be used for TV Server.
Then at the end of the installation, enter the connection details for the server and make sure the connection works:
http://users.telenet.be/Drizla/SetupDatabaseConnection.png

If you've already installed and you want to switch to the other DB server, use the "/configure-db" command line option (available options described here) to change the DB server. Of course you will need to export any channels and schedules from the old DB so you can import them into the new DB... or just start fresh.

Note: you will probably need to set up a user for MP TV Server to use with permission to create a schema. "SetupTv.exe /configure-db" will create the schema and tables for you as long as the DB connection is successful and the user has the necessary privileges.

Good luck!
