It would be very useful if the TV server had a Task Bar icon so that you know that all things are ok or a problem is known as often there maybe a problem and not know about it until you watch tv and of course any recodings you set up have not been recorded.

I totally agree!
gbPVR has a utility that shows a bunch of stuff.

Having something similar for TveEngine/TVserver would be great.

If we used my suggestion (See Thread) then this could probably be coded to work remotely (any LAN PC)
erm..... anyone of you noticed that the TV-Server is a windows service?
so it does not have any gui.
anything you would like to see in the tasbar, would have to be an additional application which is communicating with the service to ....... do something you have not specified yet in this thread.
the idea of a monitoring or remote control tool is not bad, but you should think about it and then try to be very specific about what it should be able to do.
maybe even create a mockup in photoshop of the gui

The TV service runs as a service, but the setup app could be made to run minimised in the system tray? Ideal indicators would be the following:
Whether's it's recording or idle
Hovering or clicking once could show a brief detail as to what each tuner is currently doing.

Vista Media Center has an icon too. It shows:
- when downloading EPG
- starting of a recording (baloon-tip)
- Red Dot, while recording (mouse over to see the title, click to open Media Center)
- Info (baloon and icon), when somthing went wrong (e.g. a recording did't start)
Vista has also a "supervisor" service, which restarts the recording or tv services when they crash. I have to do it manually with MP TVService...
This is the minimum of needful features, but the other from GB-PVR are also nice to have.
