[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 760599, member: 82144"] Correct - there is code smattered throughout TV Server for supporting that, but I think the feature has been disabled since the implementation ended up being too unreliable. The workaround would be to have clients in each location where you'd usually have an STB, and somewhere (hidden away maybe) have a stack of your 4 STBs with a server that has 4 Colossus cards. Of course, one of the four clients could also be the server... mm [Edit: and in answer to "can a MediaPortal with a local tuner play/pause/record live tv to a network drive?"
