[QUOTE="CyberSimian, post: 1258429, member: 141969"] One caution: WMC and MP (1 or 2) cannot share the tuners. If you wanted to continue recording using WMC, and also schedule new recordings using MP1 or MP2, you would need to re-allocate your tuners. Example: Allocate to WMC: DVB-T/T2 tuners 1 and 2, plus DVB-S/S2 tuner 1. Allocate to MP1/2: DVB-T/T2 tuners 3 and 4, plus DVB-S/S2 tuner 2. I think that re-allocating the tuners in WMC will cause all of your WMC recording schedule to be deleted :eek:, which you may not want to do just yet (it is verging on the "no going back" choice). My view: you need to use media-center software for several weeks before you can decide whether it is a good match for your requirements. A quick one-hour test does not reveal all of the little quirks and inconsistencies that might, over time, come to irk you :mad:. So you really need to have two separate HTPC systems that you can run side by side. -- from CyberSimian in the UK [/QUOTE]
