Mvp & Pch

I currently have 2 MVP's in my house, one in the bedroom & one in the family room.

Since we now have an HD set in the family room, I signed up to get a PCH. Can a PCH and an MVP run off the same server?

If I were to purchase a 2nd PCH, would I be able to configure one at 1080 & one at 480 from the same server?

You can have MVP and PCH clients at the same time.

Yes, then can use different settings.

Excellent!!

Thanks - I meant "run off the same server" in that first question, but obviously, you knew what I meant.

Actually the startmeup script right now can't handle this but it is something I am working on.

Which - MVP & PCH or 2 PCH's?

Would it be feasible to workaround w/ separate mvpmc shares - each with a different startmeup script?

something like mvpmc_1080 & mvpmc_480

Yeah, that was my thought aswell. I havnt tried it though - i've only got the one PCH.

You've got one up on me then as I'm still waiting for my invite - I'm looking forward to trying this stuff out... I guess it will be a while before stuff like that can be tested out (aside from somebody shelling out 2x the price on ebay - invites are even going for $100 US). Since one GB-PVR machine can serve a PCH & MVP, then that should hold me for a while.
