Odd, yet it works when viewing TV?

Yes and this is exactly what I do. 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
