NEW: Television tuners on clients are allowed to be used for recording
Yaobing:
I added items 7, 8, and 9 in my original post regarding new settings.

I did 7,8 but missed 9 in the options… I guess EPG will never run if it is always connected to the server right?

It works!!!! It's recording on the kitchen client and being seen by the server as well, very nice…
Now if the Kitchen PC could still work without the dependency on the server this would be awesome…
I was curious and closed the server while recording from the kitchen and it hanged (understandably so...) Restarting it brought back the prompt to load a library… :(
Back to my point of having some sort of hybrid mode where the client can start automatically without server access and perform TV recordings…This would work!

There has been some misconception, myself included. The confusion is whether Media Server must be on in order to run scheduled TV recordings and scheduled EPG updates. I often use Startup > Run on Windows startup: Media Server (allows library sharing, television recording, etc.) as a way of ensuring the part of MC is running all the time.
There is also a practical merit too: even if you choose to start Media Center on Windows startup, you may end up clicking Close on it and forget about having TV recordings in the evening.

Will a client PC wake the server up if asleep?

EPG will run (in the next build anyway - in current build it only runs when you do it manually, not automatically in the background) if you configure it to run, even if the computer is acting as a client. You do not need to let it run on client, if the server covers all channels.

If you have not configured MC client to automatically sync with the server, you should run "Sync changes with Library Server" after the recording is done so ensure the server has the most updated info. I will add some automatic calls to sync during and after recording for the next build.

It will not work without the server. What you wish for is running against MC's basic design. MC can not have two different libraries loaded simultaneously.
