  • Playing Pre-Recorded TV from WHS or Recording Live TV to WHS

    Taken from Richard's Forum Post Works for Vista , MCE 2005 and Xbox360. If you do not need to record live TV to the WHS, and just need it to store the recorded TV files and play from WHS, you can miss out " Recording Live TV to WHS " but you will still need the Batch file on the WHS. All...

MCE hung for a while, then showed the storage location on 'C' - which was not editable, and since then has shown the exact same symptoms as my post above. I'm...

It seems the WHS developers thought that backing up these files would require too much space. This is bizzare given...

  • Re: Storing or Recording Live TV to WHS

    Hello, I've got an interesting issue going on with my setup. I followed all of your steps and right off the bat everything worked perfect. I then had to restart my WHS so I made sure the bat file was in place and restarted the system. I then checked the sharing and security permissions and they were...

  • Re: Storing or Recording Live TV to WHS

    I'm having trouble getting this working too. Very simple seteup: MCE2005 machine, and trying to record live TV to an RC1 WHS, and then watch it back. I followed the guide once and seemed to get it working, and also put the batch file in, but following a restart of the WHS and MCE, it doesn't seem to...
