Just getting started with this whole PVR thing, so I hope this is not too trivial to ask (I searched around quite a bit, though).
My plan is to get a Plextor TV402U and hook it up to a little server PC, that is sitting in a closet. That server PC is supposed to record and store the video files. Playback is supposed to happen on a number of wirelessly conected PCs/laptops (and maybe through a MediaMVP in the future).
GB-PVR can be installed on the server PC and takes care of the recording etc., but I wonder, if there is any client software, that can run on the client PCs and allows convenient access of the GB-PVR features on the server (kind of like a software version of the MediaMVP)? The BeyondTV LINK software provides this kind of functionality, but I'd very much prefer to use freeware.
Thanks!
