Sub (or anyone with knowledge),
I want to write a Windows Service in .NET that can consume web services and upload files using a web service. Previous experience had me setting up the service to use the NT Authority\Network Service account to use network resources. But that account is so limited, you're forced to write yet another service running as local system to do grunt work.
My question is, how does GBPVR update the EPG data? I looked at the recording service and it's running as Local System. So it's either using the aewsome code I'm after or GBPVRTray.exe, which is running as the user, doing the work. Since I'm always logged into my GBPVR box, I have no reason not to believe the later is true.
But, most antivirus software is running as local system yet they can update themselves whether or not a user is logged in. Someone, please, show me the light!
