[QUOTE="porky996t, post: 956772, member: 75318"] Hi Melfort, I use the same TBS Quad DVB-T/T2 tuner card and it works really well with MP. I also use the TBS Quad satellite tuner too. As I understand it the UK Freeview HD channels are all on the same transponder. Last night I had 2 channels streaming live SD TV , one streaming live HD TV, 2 recording HD TV and 2 recording SD TV and there were no hiccups at all. The most I have had recording was 7 channels over Xmas, whilst watching a Movie playing back from the server. No, providing MP is set up OK, all recording should be handled fine by the TV Server part of MP. There is a plug in for MP called MyTVSeries and it allows for easy access of TV series episodes from MP. I have a seperate folder for TV Series, although the plugin can handle multiple folders/disks. However, for TV Series to work correctly the naming convention of the recorded TV series must match that on the TVDB website (this is where all the series info is grabbed from). Generally the format is, for example, Frasier - S07E16, with the suffix being the Season and Episode number. You can set MP to provide season and episode numbers, although I do this manually when I transfer recordings to the 'Series' HDD. Additionally there is a plugin called MovingPictures which handles all the films. Again, MovingPictures can handle multiple folders/HDD and on the surface of it works in a similar way to TVSeries and makes selecting films a pleasurable experience. In essence MP is composed of two parts, the "TV Server" and the "Media Client", these can be installed individually or together. Generally, the usual setup is to have a central 'server', (this can also have the MP client installed so you can use it to watch TV).
