TV Manager 1.0 for Windows Home Server and Media Center

TV Manager is a Windows Home Server add-in that lets you move your recordings to your Windows Home Server for management and storage, something that I wish WHS had built in out of the box. Version 1 is out of beta and works with XP and Vista and is a free download.

The biggest feature of TV Manager is the ability to watch your recordings in Media Center as if they were sitting in your Media Center record path.

You can delete recordings from the Windows Home Server Console or using Media Center. You can also play the recordings on non-Media Center PCs using the Windows Home Server Console or Windows Explorer.

TV Manager is free of charge and the client works with Windows XP Media Center 2005 and Vista Media Center. The TV Manager add-in works with or without Windows Home Server Power Pack 1.

It looks like a neat application and if you have Windows Home Server it's well worth looking at.  Checkout the post for details of the features and the download

But does it work with protected content, ie CableCARD?
