[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 1153514, member: 82144"] If that is what you intend to do then you [B]will [/B]need to install IRSS with its TV3 Blaster Plugin. There's no other way to get the USB-UIRT working with MP1 or MP2. In other words: please load it. Ummm... okay... hmmm... I don't mean to question your setup again here, but I'd like to clarify. With the greatest respect, are you aware that one PC with TV Server installed on it can provide TV to all the PCs (and other devices) connected to your network? In other words, I'm saying you could have the following setup: [LIST] [*]PC 1 with: [LIST] [*]MP2 Client [*]MP2 Server [*]IRSS [*]USB-UIRT [*]1 x Hauppauge HVR-2250 [*]1 x USB-UIRT (or Hauppauge Blaster) [/LIST] [*]PC 2 with: [LIST] [*]MP2 Client [/LIST] [/LIST] A single HVR-2250 has 2 tuners so you can use it to connect 2 STBs (if you weren't using RF/coax!). A single HVR-2250 can have 2 Hauppauge Blasters connected to control 2 STBs. Similarly, a USB-UIRT has 2 blasters so you can use it to control 2 STBs. This setup has lots of advantages over 2 identical setups: [LIST] [*]significantly lower cost (no need for a second HVR-2250 or USB-UIRT) [*]centralised media library management [*]centralised recording schedule management [*]more flexible tuner/STB usage (eg. record one channel while watching another) [*]adding additional clients is trivial [/LIST] As far as I can think/see, the only reasons to do identical installs on 2 different PCs are technical. For example: [LIST] [*]you're not able to connect your PCs to the same network (seems unlikely with the availability of wireless networking these days) [*]you're not able to wire your STBs back to the same server [/LIST] ...or maybe you intend to do an identical setup for a family member or friend?
