If there is a way, how do you set up your home media portal network with 2 tv servers (2 PCs, each with a dvb card)? So, for example, if I schedule a recording on PC A, then later I am watching PC A, the program will be recorded by PC B?
at first I thought that was what I wanted too, but in the end it was a lot more reliable and convenient to simply install the server on one PC and put both cards in it. The other PC becomes a slave.
This also means that you can have one PC turn off when not in use.
The only reason not to use this set up is if your server doesn't have enough room for the two TV cards.
... I was thinking I should divide up the tasks between the 2 PCs though... I think one PC doing all the work to create 2 HD streams, and then play one back as well... might be too much work for it.
I looked in the wiki, but I can't see where I can learn how to set up the one server as a 'slave server' (I think that's what I'm talking about doing?)
Thanks a million for your help!
Update: found a thread talking a bit about it... will see if I can figure it out tomorrow. Looks like I have to change the SQl settings... does that mean I have to uninstall & reinstall, or is there a way to just turn one of the servers into a slave?
