[QUOTE="morpheus_xx, post: 1058516, member: 48495"] Hi and welcome to MP forum :) MP2 is completely independent from MP1, so installing it on server only doesn't have an impact on MP1 at all. It won't change your MP1 installation. Only the MP2-Client can use the MP2-Server. So you can safely try both products on same system. I would recommend one of the 2 installers from threads below, which are based on MP2 Alpha 4 but contain already all required components for TV support. [LIST] [*][url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/testbuilds-for-slimtv-using-tvserver-mpextended-updated-for-alpha-4-2014-01-25.106231/[/url] [*][url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/testbuilds-for-native-mp2-tv-updated-for-alpha-4-2014-01-26.114068/[/url] [/LIST] The 2 builds are taking two different approaches to provide TV: [LIST=1] [*]Using existing installed MP1 TvServer and MPExtended for communication. This one is the better way for MP1/MP2 "mixed mode" [*]Using the new TVE35 engine, which is currently under heavy development and will replace TvServer in future. As you are from "ATSC-region", I cannot recommend this version for now, as there are known issues (i.e. ATSC channel scanning is broken). [/LIST] Please read more about features and known issues inside the 2 linked threads. I switched my HTPC to MP2 using MPExtended and MP1 TvServer and use it since one month exclusively. This fact brought many improvements to features, as I require them ;) So feel free to make your own experiences and don't hesitate to share your impressions :) [/QUOTE]
