[QUOTE="Bagal, post: 357281, member: 27764"] The master/slave functionality of the TV-Server doesn't work correctly and the implementation was put back so the devs could get the 1.0 release out the door, no idea when or if this will ever be fixed. In the meantime you've got 2 options for using 2 TV-Servers: 1. Share the recording folders on each HTPC and then add the the shared folder to the 'Video Folders' in the video section in the config. This way you'll be able to see all recordings from server1 and server2. Unfortunately you'll only be able to watch live TV from one server, if you want to watch live tv from the other server you'll have to quit MP and change the server in the config. 2. Use the [URL="http://www.4therecord.eu/"]ForTheRecord[/URL] app/MP plugin ([URL="https://forum.team-mediaportal.com/plugins-47/record-1-3-1-released-47517/"]MP Forum link[/URL]) which is an external TV scheduling app that not only does advanced scheduling but can also utilise 2 or more TV servers, combining all channels from both servers into one TV guide and all recordings from both servers into a seamless experience and is the method I use that's been working great for me over the last couple of months. My lounge HTPC is connected to my Sky+ STB which is used to record some things from Sky and stream Sky TV around the house, it's only used occasionally for this purpose. I have a separate dedicated TV server tucked out of the way that has a couple of DVB-T cards and lots of storage that runs 24-7, this is really loud and not something I would want sitting in the living room. Moving the Sky+ STB is out of the question as we would then lose the ability to use the 2 tuners in this box, not to mention the WAF would go down to an all time low! :D [/QUOTE]
