Hi all,

I don't know if it is possible what I want to do: I have 2 different machines running Windows 7 MC, but only one has access to a TV Tuner. I am able to see the recordings on both machines, but I cannot schedule them on the machine without the tuner, nor see what has been scheduled for recording on the other machine. I want to be able to schedule recordings from both machines, but the actual recording to be done only on one, so basically linking somehow the guide and the recording feature. Is this possible? Or do you know any third-party tools that can do this for the 7MC?

 Thank you!

I'm working on this right now; a Windows Home Server-based solution is currently in beta (take a look at http://remotewizard.net/RemoteWizardBeta.aspx for more information), but the same basic code can be used to remotely manage scheduled recordings across multiple machines.  I hope to have an XMLTV-based EPG available as an add-on in the near future.

Are both of your systems on the same network, or would you need to control the system with the tuner via the Internet? 

Yes, they are on the same network, I don't want to control it over the Internet. What I would like to do is to "share" the recording schedule, so if I schedule a show to be recorded on the tuner machine, it will show in the other media center as well as being scheduled for recording; and the other way around, if I schedule a show to be recorded on the non-tuner machine, it will show as scheduled in the tuner machine and the tuner machine will atually do the recording.

Bump. I'd like to do the same thing. Any ideas?

You could try Recording Broker from Andy VT.

 Hi,

does anyone have a working download link for this program - the one at http://babgvant.com/files/folders/3374/download.aspx doesn't appear to be working anymore 

 

Thanks
Tony

There are .zip files embedded in a couple of Andy's posts in the link I gave. Scroll down the page about half way.

I've just downloaded the x64 version without issue. There is an msi in the zip file. Don't think it'll install on work's XP Pro machine though. :(
