"Unsupported" MRV issue/question

[steecoe]

Not sure if I have something set up wrong, or if this is how it should be acting...

While DVR A is watching a recorded program from DVR B, DVR C is showing all programs from DVR B as unavailable, although DVR C can still watch programs from DVR A. Is this "normal" ? I dont remember running in to this issue before, but maybe I just never noticed. This is the unsupported MRV, all connected with ethernet. DVR B & C are on a network HUB, which is connected to the same router as DVR A. Maybe I have some network settings that need to be tweaked?

I only have 2 hooked up on each end of the house, both go thru a switch first then the router, never had problems but might when I add another...

That is normal. All HR2x will only "serve" one show at a time to the network.

The HR34 will "serve" three shows but I have no idea if it works via ethernet like DECA network.

Yeah the more I think about it I guess that would be normal, 1 stream per DVR...just odd that I had not ran into this earlier, having had the MRV since the beta days. I guess now we just have more people in the house watching more stuff on more DVRs from more locations at once....
