[QUOTE="4Fred, post: 934313, member: 16968"] I like you thought one "tv-server" also storing all files and stuff and then clients, but what I did was also put a client (standalone configuration) on the tv-server, that saved me a client computer - another of the reasons why I didn't go with a server OS, more stuff on the "one" machine. Also, I simple couldn't get my eHome receiver for my MCE remote to run on Windows Server 2008 r2. But anyway.. If space is a consideration, why not put the "server" where you intended (where there is space) then you connect a HDMI-Ethernet connector to it and on the TV in the livingroom a Ethernet-HDMI to your TV - that way your server is where it needs to be and you can use MePo on it and thus saving you a client. Yes there are HDMI-Ethernet connectors that also repeat the IR signal from your remote to the "server" where it is located. Another thing many people complain about is "my wife is watching TV but I need to do something with the TV computer but I cant since there is only one logon to the Win7 computer" - well there is a fix for that also, just google "How to Enable Concurrent Sessions in Windows 7". That way someone can watch TV and just logon using another account to the "tv-server" and you can fix almost all you want. When it comes to clients there are a separate part of the forum for this with many different suggestions, look [URL='https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/categories/hardware.327/']here[/URL]. There is also the possibility to use Ampdroid on android based tablets devices, that may be an option for you? Just remeber that these clients are not (in my opinion) as smooth as running a computer with MePo on it and use more processor power of the tv-server. [/QUOTE]
