TV Server for recording only (1 Viewer)

[jslinnha]

Hi,

Is it possible to use the new TV server in the following setup :

Server - 2 tuner cards used for recording only

Clients - Single tuner card for viewing only.

The idea being that the clients will use their own tuners for local viewing (and Timeshifting) - this is mainly due to the time lag between changing channels. But when setting a tv program to be recorded the recording will actually take place on the tv server.

So client viewing only, and server recording only.

No streaming of live tv.

Or can this be achieved without the new tv server.... ?

Hope this makes sense

Thanks

Jon

I know Frodo just added something to really improve channel changing. I have download 12633 and I must say, things are a lot faster! I am talking about less than 2 seconds on each channel. Right now I am getting about 1 second for each channel change, which is pretty quick.

The TV server is still beta... and beta 1 at that. Give it time and it will be just as fast as the existing TV engine within MP.

To answer your question... I don't think you can have TV tuners within MP if you want to use the TV server at all. I could be wrong on this... but I think that is the way it is. It's either one or the other... not both.

no, that does not work.

i am not sure, but i think asidie is talking about channel switch times in a single seat setup (not streaming).

Chris, you are correct. I am talking about right on the server... so I single seat setup.
