[OT] MCE 2005 VPN and other questions

["ianh1000" <ianh1000@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi All, nothing to do with HA but I got my MCE pc on Xmas eve and
have just had a chance to play with it today. I am having some
fun/frustration and wonder if any one else has had teh same.

The is not a home build but an HP media PC ( Very good quality
hardware ;-) ).


1.
I have MS Media player 10 on another PC it can see my recorded TV
programs but when I try and play them all I get is audio. I this a
DRM feature?

2. Can i edit my recorded TV programs to remove adverts etc then
save to DVD? Or does DRM step in again here?

3. It has a WiFi card that I have configured as a software Access
point. THis works but I can't get the VPN to work. I have added all
of the ports I think I need to the Norton Firewall but no luck so
far.

4. The machine has an normal tuner card, can i simply change
this/add a DVB card?

Thanks for any assistance.

Regards
Ian
