[QUOTE="4Fred, post: 887011, member: 16968"] WHS is a server OS, most tv-cards and MePo are developed and intended for a client OS. It's unfortunate but it's the way it is. There are ways of getting most tv-cards running on a server OS but it almost always involves some hacks and it's unnecessarily complicated. I did run my tv-server on Windows Server 2003 and later on Windows Server 2008 R2 but no more, changed it all to Win7. On my Win7 machine I run all kinds of stuff. Full MePo install with two tv cards and mpextended and blah blah (check System Specs if you are interested) but I also use it as my fileserver, dynamic dns updater, backup, using vmware workstation I have two virtual machines running on it, a small hack to allow two remote desktops and all kinds of stuff that I used to think I needed a server os to do... but after all problems I had getting the stuff to run OK on a server OS I reverted to Win7 over a year ago and have never looked back. If you want really want to run your stuff on WHS I suggest running it on a trial license to make sure that what you can get your stuff running. [/QUOTE]
