[QUOTE="Marbles_00, post: 609263, member: 103891"] Sorry, I should have explained myself better...it doesn't help too that the system breakdown has really nothing to do with this system in question. Basically I have two machines, each capable of video capturing, but by different methods. My main HTPC has an ATSC capture card in it and is capable of OTA HD recordings, which I will only watch from that machine as it is attached to a HDTV set. It does have a satellite capture card in it as well, but it isn't being used at this time. My other machine has a PVR-150 installed in it that is recording from (and controlling via GBPVR currently) a satellite provider set-top box. I originally was using a combination of Xlobby for the frontend, GBPVR for TV recording, then MPC or Zoom Player for watching. Damn Hauppauge drivers would crash the system if I tried to do some LiveTV watching, so I would just flip to the satellite input on the old CRT TV for that duty...not a big deal. I was hoping to use MP's TV server on that system too, but after having issues, and reading up on the headaches of others trying to get MP to control a set-top box without using an MCE remote, I've chosen now to drop that idea, and stick with GBPVR for recording. Now on this machine, I would like the choice of leaving the recordings on it, and watching them locally (which I'm sure I can get MP to update its video database directed towards the local machines recorded TV directory), or moving the recorded files to my NAS, since the server is on 24/7, so I can watch the programs on the HTPC setup, or any furture setup. I'm trying to keep shares between individual computers to a minimum as there is no guarantee that any one machine will be powered on when wanting to watch specific content, unlike the server, which is powered on all the time. I hope that clears up why I'm asking for this. I guess one way would be to direct my recorded TV directory to the server...but wasn't sure if my network (not GigLAN yet) can handle the constant stream during a recording session (even though it is just SD content...so maybe it could...well worth a try I guess).
