Has anyone tried running the TV Server under VMWare? It looks like it should be possible using USB tuner cards. I'd like to try but I only have PCI tuner cards now. Thanks.

I'll soon have a linux box at home with lots of disk & cpu to spare. It would be nice for me to run TV Server there and have my 2 TV3 clients go to S3 suspend while they are not in use.

i have successfully run TV server in a VmWare maschine, using an Terratec Cinergy Hybrid T XS USB tuner (only the DVB-T part worked)

i have done this to test the multi server feature.

So this is working? I'm considdering setting up a machine that runs two virtual OSs, one for TV-Server, and one for managing databases and downloading. And recomendations for Xeon CPUs for this machine?

Most (all?) small PC cases accept only ITX motherboards, which have only one PCI-E slot. So you could install only one PCI-E tuner card. A quad-tuner card would give you four tuners, but if you wanted more tuners you would need to use the TBS eight-tuner card, or use external tuners, either USB tuners (available with single or dual...

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...

Does anyone else have problem with long (several hours) pauses of TV broadcasts? If I pause and forget, I can still resume TV the next day, but if I try to change channel or stop, MP freezes. Only way to fix is to restart both MP and TV Service. Sometimes I need to restart PC It seems that TVServer cannot proprtly handle large...

When I tested MP 2.5 some months ago using TVE3.5, I found that "scan for channels" failed to find any channels when I selected a DVB-T2 tuner (a TBS 6284) :(, but succeeded when I used a DVB-T tuner (a Pinnacle 2000i) :). Obviously the Pinnacle found only those channels broadcast in DVB-T MUXes (in the UK we have both DVB-T MUXes and...
