[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 648655, member: 75254"] Hi porky, In simple terms, if you've got your "TV PC setup", then I'm assuming that means you've got TV-Server and the MediaPortal client installed on one PC. If you want to watch TV, etc. on your laptop, then you'll need to install just the MediaPortal client on the laptop and configure it to connect to the TV-Server machine (again, I'm assuming you have a network running...). One thing to remember is, if you've only got one tuner card in the TV-Server machine, then that card can only tune to a single channel (or the channels of a single transponder) at one time ..... so you may still have "conflicts" with the GF! If you've got multiple tuners, then you'll probably be OK (unless there are recordings happening which conflict with the channels you both want to watch) I'd suggest that you get the client installation and basic config done on your laptop first, and see how you go. If you've still got issues, then you know there are always people here who are willing to help. Cheers, Craig [/QUOTE]
