[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 923652, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome :) You've covered a lot of ground in your post. I'm going to pick one thing that I might be able to assist with... [SIZE=3][FONT=Calibri][/FONT][/SIZE] I'm not sure if TBS can help you on this front - they mostly focus on tuners that work in other parts of the world. Do you have a cable subscription, or do you just get the clear QAM local channels via cable? For tuners: are you wanting quad cable, quad ATSC, or a mixture? If you do have a cable subscription and you want to use this server to receive the encrypted channels then you will need a CableCARD tuner. MP's support for these is still in an "experiemental" phase: [url]https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/threads/cablecard-tuner-support-for-mediaportal-1.112585/[/url] CableCARD tuners don't do ATSC, so your HVR 1600 would still be useful on that front. As you probably know, both the 1600 and 2250 do clear QAM or ATSC depending on what you connect them to, so they're quite flexible - they just can't handle encrypted cable channels... The other option you could consider is something like an HDHomeRun.
