Hello all,
I started messing around with MP0.1.3 over the weekend and I have to say, great program! I realize it's still 'in the works' and there are some glitches, but all in all it's excellent and will just get better!
I was wondering if anyone could assist me with a few general questions.
1. I was wondering how MP handles multiple TV Tuner cards as far as recording. Do you have to stipulate which card records what channel, or does MP automatically choose an available card and records whatever shows are scheduled?
2. I use Windows XP SP2 to run MP. Which of the remotes (if any) can I use to control MP? Will the Microsoft one work or does it *only* work with MCE?
3. Is there a streamlined way to set up an MP 'Server', in a sense, and have other MP boxes connect to it to retrieve recorded shows, music, etc.? I mean, I'm sure I could just 'share' the folders on the Server and point the other MP boxes to the share across a network, but is there a way to set up the other boxes in a more 'point and click' type of fashion? And, if I did point them to the TV Recording share on the Server, would they show up in the 'slave' box's 'recorded shows' area?
Many thanks in advance...
