Short description:

TV-Server channel scan or TV in general only works with MediaPortal-Client installed.




Long description:

I started to try a dedicated home(theatre) server, so, because of the dedicated server thing, I installed ms server 2008 enterprise (thanks to msn :p), even if i know that it was not supported, but also know that there are ppl out there with working rigs.
Installation was like everyday:
1. OS
2. Updates
3. Some roles
4. Updates again
5. Drivers + TV-Card Software
6. Database
7. MediaPortal (TV-Server only)
Everything fine so I wanted to do a channel search, but everytime the TV-Server didn't find anything.
So I tested the sat-connection by using DVB-Viewer, which is included by my TV-Card, and there were absolutely no problems.
After wasting some time of trying to get it work I installed XP on the maschine.
Same procedure:
1. OS
2. Updates
3. Drivers + TV-Card Software
4. DVBFix
5. Database
6. MediaPortal (TV-Server only)
Tried to scan for channels ... same problem as before, no signal found.
So I tried to find differences between the new server, and the still running single-seat installation of MediaPortal on my future-Client and recognized the only difference is that on the server there's no client installed.
So I started the MP installation again and installed both, client and server and it worked (on both operating systems)

100% reproducible!
