[QUOTE="tcr, post: 60921, member: 21726"] Hi All, I'm new to the world of PVR's, but I have a somewhat ambitious plan (I think). Considering my mail/fileserver (Windows 2003) is running 24/7 anyway, I figure it would be better to use this pc to record tv shows, instead of my main pc. However my server doesn't have a monitor, keyboard or mouse. While I can connect one during the installation of MediaPortal, my intention is to have it run headless afterwards. This means that I need some sort of webinterface to update the EPG and to mark programs for recording (I suspect MediaPortal doesn't work over Remote Desktop). I figure the Webinterface suits my purpose. I know I'll lose timeshifting capabilities and some other features this way, but that's okay. I intend to view my recordings via my main pc afterwards (probably through another MediaPortal installation), but that shouldn't really pose a problem. Can I expect any other issues using MediaPortal headless? Anything else I haven't thought of yet? Thanks in advance for your advice! [/QUOTE]
