I'm researching PVR software, and have some questions for you regarding your product which I'm hoping you can answer?

- H.264 support for playback?
- Cablecard support?
- How long will your system pause live TV? Can it utilize all of the free space on the hard drive for the pause buffer?
- Can multiple servers be ganged together?
- Can a live program being watched be saved after show has begun? (can user skip back to previous point and begin dumping buffer to permanent file?)
- Can it manage rips of DVD movies? If so, can it import previously ripped DVDs (not ripped by your software)?

Thanks

While I am not a developer of MP I can say:
- h.264, if you have the codec, it will play.
- no idea what cable card is. If it's US cable, then yes it should work.
- you will be able to pause until your timeshift buffer is full. max size is 180 minutes, which would be what, like 60gig of size for HD?
- Multiple servers can in theory be chained, but I think it's quite immature, and you will probably do better in MP2 when it is done.
- I don't know about this, I haven't tried timeshifting and then saving what I already had. I guess it could work, and if it doesn't, that's a great improvement to suggest.
- there is a plugin you can add for this.
