[QUOTE="craige1, post: 734588, member: 66464"] Hello there, I am interested to know if mediaportal could be used as a 24/7 tv recorder. Basically this is a computer with many tv tuner cards that are buffering tv on many channels at once for a long period like 2 weeks, and when a user wants to save "record" a program that was on during that last 2 weeks, it will grab it from the buffer and save it. This in mediaportal I would imagin would go something like running the timeshift buffer on many channels using the different cards, then saving the program out of the timeshift buffer and into the recorded programs section when a user chooses a program that is in the timeshift buffer. Can MediaPortal do this or how hard would it be to have this added? Also if a plugin was written, could it add this support or would MP itself need to be changed to allow it? The only other part to this is the ability to save the recorded programs to file or disk, I couldnt find anything on that. Can this also be done in MediaPortal? I have done a lot of searching but its at the point where asking directly is a better approch to getting an answer to these questions. Thank you for your time. [/QUOTE]
