You setup a shared folder on the machine you have content you want MP to use, and then tell MP to go look in that shared folder for content.

You only wanna do that if you are connecting to a let's say friends FTP to share that data... Otherwise I'd go with Khris' suggestion: sharing folders on the server and tell the client where MP is installed to look at the shared folders on the server.
quick hint ...
use unc paths such as:
\\server ip\sharename
some have reported that Windows doesn't always auto-reconect shares after a reboot and stating the share as above solves the problem.

Ok, so perhaps a solution, but not the "right" solution. On the client, within media portal configuration, under TV settings, advanced options, I switched to UNC paths instead of the default RSS, and it's working very well. Sure I had to figure out the paths, but no big deal.
Maybe helpful for someone in the future. Thanks for the...

Although the change to TV channel 71 may not also have been applied to the independent radio channels (different MUXes), the logs that I prepared for one of the development team does show a difference between channel 704 ("BBC Radio 4") and channel 731...
