[QUOTE="kstam, post: 564887, member: 76046"] I think (almost sure) that MP doesn't support that. there can be only one server, or at least the two servers would be independant. Meaning that the one could not use the tuners of the other, and each client can connect to only one. What I 'm not sure is if it is easy from inside the client to select to witch server you want to connect. And when I say easy I mean from inside MP and not having to go to Configuration. Something like selecting groups for example. That would be a suggestion to the developers... But your are not living in a fantasy. What you describe is possible with MythTV. The most well known Linux Media Center with TV capabilities. It is based also on Server client model (in fact far before MP did) and it is possible to have one Master server (Backend as it is called) with multiple TV cards and MULTIPLE Slave servers (backends) with multiple TV cards each.
