[QUOTE="Stilez, post: 1111126, member: 150609"] Thanks, helpful responses both. I think I found the pack you must have meant: Windows Server Media Experience Pack? It sounds like you are describing three parallel TV Server platforms, any of which allows TV Server to properly handle TV tuning, PVR, and media streaming: [LIST] [*]Windows Server 2012 Essentials with Windows Media Server Experience Pack (and anything else?), *or* [*]Windows Server 2012/2012R2 Standard or higher with Server Essentials Role enabled and Windows Media Server Experience Pack (and anything else?), *or* [*]Windows Server 2012/2012R2 Standard or higher with no extra roles required, and BDA patch added (and anything else?) [/LIST] Is this roughly right? [SIZE=2]And [USER=74879]@HTPC_Sourcer[/USER] - offence wasn't intended. Apologies if it came over that way. I truly don't take the help you give here for granted, and I am greatly appreciative of it, as I hope you gathered. It was a reflection of the fact that after a lot of forum searching, I had commented it was unclear whether I needed Windows Server Essentials *role* or Windows Server Essentials *OS*, and the answer was "2012 Essentials". Hence why I felt this was still ambiguous. I'm sorry this came over in any way other than as a request for fuller details.[/SIZE] [/QUOTE]
