I tried it and you are correct the server is not the place for it, I have
now put it on a much lower spec pc 750 Athlon, and put this next t  the TV
(that reminds me I need some black paint)

I am having problems when either ShowShifting or recording, during playback
after about 30 seconds the video playback enters a 1 second loop, sound is
ok. I have posted a message on the SS list so I will have to wait to get it

That's a good idea, but Jacqui says the keyboard and mouse have to go !
(actually I am going to hide a RF one behind my seat) of I am thinking of
getting a IRman and reprogramming my pront  again ! that should be a

Have a nice holiday
