I have a PC in the loft, closest to the aerial, which has 2 DVB cards in 1 for recording 1 for viewing and then run the recordserver on this recording to a local disk. The frontend downstairs then streams TV from the PC in the loft and plays recording from a NFS share also from the PC in the loft. Works a treat and means I can turn off/upgrade the downstairs PC with out chance of pain being inflicted on me by my wife/kids for recordings being missed :-) cheers Adam ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Check out the new SourceForge.net Marketplace.
