[QUOTE="robbo100, post: 822247, member: 91446"] Well, I have got it all working with the Argus tuner (except for Channel 4HD, which it just won't tune to, and the fact that my PC won't go into Standby)! Overall, my experience is broadly negative (but I am not sure if it is the Argus Tuner, or the 4TR programme itself). [U]Pros are as follows:[/U] - The Web Interface for scheduling programmes is just absolutely bloody marvellous! - The recording options and flexibility seem good. - I love the internet control (IMBot) idea, although I am yet to try it [U]Cons are as follows (from my personal experience).[/U] - The Argus tuner setup GUI is very difficult to use. I really found it difficult to use. This was from a combination of little things (like buttons not sensibly grouped to make regularly used options easy to select), to big things like the lack of automatically updating tuning data. - The forum has a few people who are keen to help, but the community does not seem anywhere as large and as active as MP. - The Argus tuner seems really quite flakey. I can't record an HD programme and watch it at the same time (in either single seat or client server). I think I am going to revert back to my previously backed-up drive image and maybe I will try installing 4TR using MP TV Server as the tuner. Robbo100 [/QUOTE]
