[QUOTE="dir, post: 329646, member: 24485"] Check that the network is up before the tv service starts. Check that the tv service can find the server named in the configuration (where it lists the server then the cards underneath it). To start the TV Service when it gives you that warning, do a "restart". I do this the long way (right click My Computer, select Manage, select Services, select TVService, select restart. I also created a bat file that did this: net stop tvservice net start tvservice which I'd run after the network was completely up. I'd know this because I could then create shares and access remote files. Until I could do that, my network wasn't up. No matter what things told me it was; it wasn't. They lied. So I created a bat file that does this: net use * /d net use * \\server\share net stop tvservice net start tvservice then I got fancy and did something like this: :Start if not exist \\server\share\filename goto startnetwork goto starttvservice :startnetwork net use * /d net use * \\server\share goto Start :starttvservice net stop tvservice net start tvservice The above may not be exactly correct syntax but you get the idea: check if a file on the network exists. If it doen't, it's cuz the network ain't up yet, so make the network share and try again. Once the network file can be found, the network must be up, so jump to restarting the tvservice. Note that this can go into a loop if the file on the network doesn't actually exist or some other reason why the test fails. I have this bat file in my startup now. [/QUOTE]
