    CAM sharing is not supported by MP in any way shape or form. Far too many potential legal issues with that. It's the same story for any other kind of soft-cam.

    Is there a legal issue connecting a single cam with a legitimate subscription card to two tuners in an HTPC- is this not exactly what a sky+ box is doing. in fact this suggests that a single cam+subscription card in HTPC should also not be supported by MP.

    This topic keeps coming up but if you take that position then almost everything we are doing with MP has "too many legal issues" - ripping DVDs, music and TV then sharing on a local network. if we are happy saying that we are doing this for personal use then what is the difference wanting to watch and record two subscription channels that you have paid for with your own hardware rather than having to buy a SKY+ box.

    Good luck, I am really not too sure how well CAM and MP work together with any tuner. Just a thought would it not be cheaper to just buy another C1+ card then there would be no need to prioritise the tuners? BTW the TBS Deutschland website specifically states that C1+ cards are not supported but I think that is a local issue with the...

    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...
