    Quick question, does MP TVE3 use any more memory than idle when recording or timeshifting multiple channels? I'm looking at how much memory I need allocated in a VM for TVE3 for production use and so far WS2012R2 is using no more than 3GB ram... Depending on the answer, I might be able to offer a full VM running Windows 7 for testing purposes :)

    Yes. The more tuners in use, the more memory used; the more filters in each graph, the more memory used. Analog tuners require more filters => more memory. Once a tuner is loaded, the memory should stay relatively stable until a tuner is loaded or unloaded. For me on XP with one DVB-T tuner TVService.exe uses about 60 MB of memory. Loading an additional DVB-S tuner takes another 15 MB. Loading a further DVB-S tuner takes another 5 MB. In other words, the scaling is not always linear. 200 MB or memory should be more than enough for test TV Server install on XP.
