I know that if I transfer my episodes to a different drive, then they need to be scanned again. But do I need to do this if they are transferred to a replacement drive? ie the drive letter remains the same..?

    If the same drive letter and path is used it should be ok. If you selected the Import Path to be removable however there might be a problem as it would be a different volume.

    Thx for the reply :)

    No, it's not set to be removable, I'm just replacing my internal 1Tb drives with 1.5Tb to help with space

    I just did a transfer from 1 external HDD (1 faulty TB :( ) to a new one, same drive letter, no problem.
    You should be good to go :)

    I note that you are using MP2. The following applies to MP1, but I think that MP2 is identical in this situation. "TV Server Config" has a "TV Mapping" panel in the "TV Channels" section. On the "TV Mapping" tab: The left column lists the channels that have not yet been mapped to the TV tuner identified by the drop-down menu just...
