[QUOTE="osre, post: 1181767, member: 150866"] I'm more or less in the same Situation as you. Because of a shortage of time I havn't tried everything fully so far but: Multiple TV's via small HTPC boxes: yes. MP2 is fully Client/Server based. You need one Server with the TV Card(s) and can connect multiple Clients to it (will not Need any Special harware) One of the Clients can be the Server too, so no extra machine is needed. All Clients will see all recordings, since there is only one media library, managed by the Server. Cable Card with protected channels: I only use DVB-S2 without encrypted channels, but I would say your Card should propably work, including the protected channels. The WIKI contains a copatibility list for Tuners if I remember right. I'm not sure about recording on protected channels. I read somewhere that existing WMC recording from protected channels will not be playable by MP2. btw. MP2 currently uses the same TV Server as MP1, so everyting related to MP1 TV-Server is true for MP2 too. [/QUOTE]
