How would I enable that?
Firstly, is it only the NextPVR service that does not have access, or your whole system? Can you map a drive in explorer to that share and copy or create a file there manually?
What is your network drive, is it on another windows machine or on some type of NAS device?
The target device needs to be 'opened' up so that your PVR server/service can get write access to it. The method to do that depends on the OS of that target device. (i.e. Windows Security or most likely Samba security)

If I were you, I'd make NextPVR full screen in the config. Go into Settings (i.e. right-click in NextPVR and select Settings), go to General tab and enable "Start in fullscreen mode". At least on my system, the task bar does not show, if I want to drop into window mode, select ALT-Enter.
BTW, this thread has gotten kind of off-topic, you may want to start a new one to focus on the problem at hand (which is no longer lack of Live TV).

actually he's still got the same problem as described in post #1, and the answer was given in post #2.

The networked folder is on a Linux file server. My home network is not on a domain. I don't have a an authentication protocol running on my network's WORKGROUP.
How would I go about giving [Local System] access to the networked Linux folder?
I have 3 different accounts on that PC at the moment, so configuring NPVR for each of those accounts might not work.

You need to open up the Linux Samba share. What is your Linux file server? You'll probably have to update your samba configuration file (usually smb.conf) to open up those shares to guest or something. Each distribution may be slightly different...

My NAS is setup with no access restrictions to allow everyone read and write access to every folder. Does you NAS allow you to setup folders with no access restrictions?

That's what I've been trying to find out on here: How do I setup my Linux share so that NextPVR will write to it?
