Using XP I found it easiest to move the data directory to “Shared Docs” which is actually “Documents and Settings\all users\docs”, but you have to use regedit to chance the location of the NPVR “DataDirectory”. Once you have shared it you need to ensure the NPVR directory is writable from the client. The NPVR directory on the server should be listed under “My network places” on the client so create then delete a test file in the directory.
The next thing to do is to add NextPVR.exe and NRecord.exe to the firewall exceptions on the server. Although not as necessary its a good idea to do the same on the client. Then if the “Server Name” and “Database Share” have been correctly entered for your server then you should be able to view “TV Guide”, “Recordings” and “Live TV” from the client.
