Power Pack 3 Compatibility Report
- Collections - Collect series episodes automatically to the Home Server (or other location) and then watch them in original broadcast order on any Media Center computer on the network. See Collection Scenarios.
- AutoMove - Automatically move all new recordings on a specific Media Center computer to the Home Server (or other location). Great for that old XP Media Center machine with the small hard drive!
- AutoDelete - Automatically delete duplicate recordings and previously watched episodes. Overcomes some of the shortcomings of the Media Center scheduler.
- Runs 24/7 on the Home Server as a Windows Service Application (What's this?). Fully configurable using the Recorded TV Manager tab in the Windows Home Server Console from any connected client machine on the Home Server network.
- Series Info Database - Keeps track of every episode you've recorded and when it was watched, even after it's deleted. Helps answer the question, "Did we see this episode?"
Additional FREE Supporting Software also available for download which integrates closely with Recorded TV Manager Add-in for Windows Home Server.
