[QUOTE="ohdarklord, post: 48113, member: 17624"] I decided to make a "prototype" to test things out I used my main pc (athlon 64 3500 , 1gb ram) to represent the file server And I used my htpc (athlon 2000 , 512 mb ram) They were connected using a 100mb/s ethernet (This was allready set up so that I could watch videos i downloaded on the htpc) Once i had the my recording folder maped as drive R:/ on my htpc i set drive R:/ as the recording loaction. [u] Im happy to say that it worked :D [/u] All recordings were stored on the main computer and only 2% - 5% of the bandwidth was being used. I even tried watching a movie stored on my main pc on the htpc at the same time as recording to the main pcs hard disk and that worked perfect. [u]Now for the bad part :( [/u] The time shift buffer is put on the main pc which i caused a slower change of channels and if the file server is turned off the tv is useless. Some of ther first recordings i done didnt work , when i recorded them i selected record current program (with the time shift turned on this records the program from the begining) and all i ended up with was currupt files. Tommorow (I have college work to do just now) i will try and work out what happened with the first few recordings and maybe set up a dedicated file server. [/QUOTE]
