[QUOTE="Dale#1976, post: 350721, member: 25022"] Hi Everyone .... I'm setting up my first TV Client. My server and client on my main server system is working well with the HD PVR. It looks like the Client on my second system cannot connect to the database. This is the error log entry: 2008-12-29 10:03:15.343750 [ERROR][TvClient-Radio: HeartBeat transmitter thread]: TVHome: Error in Reload - The database backend (provider SQLServer) could not be reached. Check the connection string: Password=mediaportal;Persist Security Info=True;User ID=sa;Initial Catalog=MpTvDb;Data Source=multimed-rec-ro\SQLEXPRESS;Connection Timeout=300; I initially thought that it was a firewall problem but my client is able to communicate with my server. The 'record' indicator will come on when the server is recording and go off when it is not. Can anyone give any suggestions on how I can make connection with the database on the server? I am a complete novice at this so I simply don't know where to start. I'm using the MP and TV# downloads from the first post, which I believe are the latest. Thanks!! Dale [/QUOTE]
