[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1199501, member: 82144"] Hello and welcome :) My opinion: it's definitely a good idea to have all your tuners in the server. As you've already identified, this is the best way to avoid double-recordings, re-recordings and having to move media around. Note that unlike WMC which requires one tuner per channel, MP is able to use one tuner to time-shift and/or record all channels from a given frequency (AKA physical channel). In other words, if you have OTA ATSC digital terrestrial TV from an aerial/antenna, you can stream all channels with the same major channel number (ie. if the channel number is 42-2, 42 is the major channel number and 2 is the minor channel number) using just one tuner. Consider installing the client software on the server. This can be really useful for troubleshooting - particularly network/connectivity issues. The only impact would be the additional HDD space used (~65 MB). No. From a TV perspective: [LIST=1] [*]Each tuner has its own recording folder setting. If you configure tuners to record to different HDDs, MP will naturally spread your recordings over those HDDs. If an HDD fills up, just change the recording folder for the corresponding tuner(s). Changing a tuner's recording folder setting does not affect client access to previous recordings. [*]The location of recordings is transparent to clients. In other words, when you want to view a recording, you don't have to know which tuner recorded it and which folder that tuner records to. The recording grouping/layout is independent of the file system. [/LIST] Hope that helps. :) mm [edit: One more thing relating to the multiple HDD subject. You can configure "quotas" on each HDD. In short, this enables MP to automatically delete older recordings to make space for newer ones. Any recordings that you want to keep forever can be flagged to make them safe from deletion.] [/QUOTE]
