[QUOTE="funkstar, post: 729997, member: 14311"] If youa re using digital tuners (DVB-T/S/C) then using a server OS shouldn't be a problem, as you have already seen there are ways to get them working on 2K8 R2. If you have USB tuners then you can assign them to a VM and have W7 inside that hosting TVServer and everything else in the main server OS. If TVServer goes down or you need to reboot it, you don't loose anything else as you are just restarting the VM. What I'm going to do eventually is have one beefy HTPC in one room with an SSD just for OS and MP running both the client and TVServer, then have my server tucked away that will handle all the storage and anything else I decide to throw at it. I've got a few reasons for this, one of them is the satellite cables come into the house in a place I don't want the large noise storage server, and I don't want to move them either :) [/QUOTE]
