oops! it wasnt running, all fixed now
just 2 more questins if thats ok
1. I have only got 1 dvb card at them moment.
In your setup how have you configured the freevo directories so that computer 1
running the main process can see the recording lock file on computer 2 so you
cant watch tv while recording?
2. On the note of having a remote computer to handle the recordserver,
encoding server etc. What settings do you need to put in the local_config to
setup a remote encoding server
I have put ENCODINGSERVER_IP = computer2 in the local_config and started the
encoding server on computer2 but whenever i attempt to reencode anything I get
the message that the encoding server is not running.
Thanks again

You could try changing the Channel names to there DVB Ids, use dvbctrl

run the recordserver on this recording to a local disk. The frontend
