Rob & Dischi, Thanks for your responses. It's nice to know those features are coming. Does this also mean that Freevo 2.0 supports multiple sources of TV program information? Like 2 accounts at Schedules Direct, a Satellite provider, etc. Does the TV server handle that, or a combination of the TV server and the Frontend? Out of curiousity, how usuable/stable/featured is Freevo 2.0 at this point? I'm thinking specifically of the WAF (Wife Acceptance Factor). Are there plans to add the distributed functionality to the 1.X series? I know Duncan's been making a lot of changes for the 1.8 stream. Thanks for your time folks! Happy Holidays! /Mike ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Microsoft Defy all challenges.
