[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 821671, member: 91446"] EDIT - I am adding my own findings as I learn more showing the answers in quotes inline with my own questions. I have had a more detailed read of the 4TR website (I have read the installation manual cover to cover), and I am quite keen, but I have a couple of questions which I hope people can answer (please let me know if these are not allowed in the MP forum because they are technically about MP). I usually try to be one of the people helping to answer questions on this forum, so sorry for asking loads myself. 1) Is it better to use the MP TV Server, or to use the Argus Tuner - and why? 2) I use PowerScheduler++, does 4TR do a similar thing? If using the MP TV Server plugin with 4TR, which software controls putting the PC into Standby? 3) If I use the Argus Tuner, what is the best way of migrating across to 4TR, should I just disable the TV Server service at windows startup? 4) If it all goes horribly wrong, is it likely that I am going to be able to just uninstall 4TR and re-enable the MP TV Server service (I suppose I could just do a drive image of my OS partition before I start messing around)? 5) My TV Server is on Windows XP SP3 - is this going to be compatible with 4TR? 6) I run a client server system (only one client), but my server is essentially configured as "Single Seat" will this be OK. 7) What do I need to do on the client side. Will the current client TV plugin just connect to the 4TR server as long as the server host name is correct? 8) Will my existing MP recordings but imported into 4TR? 9) When there are future MP updates, will I have to wait until there is an update to 4TR before I can update, or will it generally work? 10) Not that I personally use it, but if someone I knew used MDAPI, would this work with 4TR Argus tuner and where would I find instructions as to where to put the appropriate files (please don't post specific instructions on this forum since it is not permitted)? 11) With 4TR allow recording of multiple channels from a single mux using a single tuner (using either the MP or Argus tuner)? Thanks (and sorry for the really really long list of stupid questions). Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
