[QUOTE="Hojou, post: 110140, member: 28936"] I was hoping you guys could help me decide what setup to install. I have a PC in the livingroom right beneath the TV. It has a TV tuner card installed and will be only (for now anyways) machine capturing TV signals. This will also be the primary machine for playback of DVD's, xvids, TV etc. I figured i'd just go for the normal MP setup and everything would be fine. However i was thinking it would be cool if i could take the laptop to bed (mmmm laptop...) and watch TV/recorded TV/etc. streamed etc. from the network. This lead me to think i could install the server and client on the machine in the living room and the client on the laptop - right? Would i then have the excat same posibilities as if running the normal MP on the living room PC + extra laptop goodieness? Can someone help me confirm/deny the rumours i seemed to have picked up browsing the community? * The Server / Client setup is slower since the signal needs to be buffered into the stream - does this apply to playback on the server as well - or can it playback the signal without the extra streaming-buffer ment for networking? * The Server / Client setup is a hassle to setup - does this mean 5+ hours extra of setting it up? I know how to setup MS SQL Server, create logins etc. * The Server and Client can't run on the same machine? I think the machine is about 3GHz and has 1Gb ram. Do you think i should just go for the normal MP and if the laptop need arises, install the server and reuse the shows/databases recorded when changing to the server/client architecture? I hope some of you wizards can help me :thx: [/QUOTE]
