[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1157212, member: 82144"] Not really. I mean, you can certainly install TV Server on 2 machines and have them both save recordings to the same NAS. However, the 2 TV Servers can't be configured to talk to each other. That means you will have to manually manage which server records each schedule. It is possible to import the recordings from server 1 into server 2 (and vice versa) using this section of configuration: [URL]http://wiki.team-mediaportal.com/1_MEDIAPORTAL_1/141_Configuration/TV-Server_Configuration/07_Recording#Database_import[/URL] However that is also a manual process. There's no way to schedule it. The only way to have it happen automatically would be to "roll your own" import script/program. It wouldn't be particularly hard for an experienced developer, but it's probably out of the reach of somebody who has never done any coding in their lives. Back in the day TV Server had the capability to be configured to co-ordinate multiple TV Server installs. One was a master and the others were slaves, exactly as you say. That's why there's a "TV Servers" section in TV Server Configuration to this day. Apparently the feature was really buggy and unreliable, so it was disabled years ago. A standard ATX motherboard has up to 7 slots. Only the motherboards designed for people who want smaller PCs are limited to less slots. I'm not sure if you have PCI or PCIe cards, but either way it should be easily possible to find a motherboard with more than 2 slots if you really wanted to.
