[QUOTE="rsybel, post: 1192095, member: 159457"] I've set up MP2 on a single machine (client and server), and I must admit, it looks pretty damn good, There was a lot of head scratching during configuration, but I got channels scanned, EPG guide working, and an existing video library imported. Live TV works just fine. But, there seem to be a few lingering issues and I'm not now certain if I shouldn't have set up MP1? (Although the better integration on MP2 is a big attraction.)
