The only way to use wmc itself to talk to another machine is with something like dvblink from dvblogic that takes over control if your tuners and shares them on your network so almost anything can use them if there is a dvblink client for that device. Or check out mediaportal as it does a client/server setup as well. Cheers :) I had a look at their webpage. Is the computer accessing generally thru a webpage so thru the net or can you install the server app onto the clients? I did look at their help section which you can access it thru a local IP address of the WMC server but if the computers goes off night and reboots in the day this IP will always change right. I note that tablets/phones do have their own versions of client app though. http://www.remotepotato.com/	Nomad (952)
