have you made your shares available to everyone on the network in security settings? I normally find thats the biggest issue when sharing stuff, though never tried it on 360/sony.

ah excellent cheers all I think I might make the migration tonight
Yep I've tried looking at guest accounts and configuring the permissions for everyone and it won't always update automatically. It can sometimes take up to a day or so to update by itself.
However, I can force it to update and register new content by setting the media share for a server folder on the dashboard to 'no' and then back to 'yes'. Doing this will make it acknowledge the new content.
Is there anyway to make it do this automatically? Is there a background service for this?

Mine does this, but I found it was the case vibrating. I've put mine on foam (as it was on a hard surface) which helped but sometimes the front door moves position and starts droning again. I either push it around or open it and the noise stops.

Looking at a MicroServer as a combined Win 7 Media Centre HTPC and NAS solution.
Should the below work well together and not too hot?
N40L Microserver
8GB RAM
120GB SSD for OS connected to motherboard
2 x 3TB SATA drives connected to motherboard (RAID 1)
ATi 5450 PCIe graphics
Black Gold 3620 Tuner
Cheers,

That would be fine, similar to what I am running.
No point putting the 3 in raid 1 though, they will be fast enough in their own and 3 times more change of losing everything if raid 1.

Thanks HarryPainful.
RAID 1 is mirrored?
Do you suffer much delay when changing channels with your Microserver?

RAID 1 is mirrored. RAID0 is striped.

The latest version of the claim form covers purchases between Dec 1 to Jan 31.
How noisy or quiet is this thing? I'm looking at maybe getting one to have in my room - and it will be running constantly - is it quiet enough to sleep in the same room with?
Secondary question - I'm looking to run SABnzbd, Sickbeard and Couchpotato all in the background while it is connected to the TV running XBMC - Am I assuming correctly that this bad boy can handle all this at once?

I had mine on my desk but I found it a little too noisy its now hidden away under the desk and I can barely hear it, a lot will depend on what and how many drives you put in I guess, ive got the 250gb that came with it along with 2 x 2tb Samsung F4's. My PSU fan was probably the loudest part
with regards to the cashback, how long has it been running for now..... they might aswell just reduce the RRP
It is quiet enough to sleep with it on BUT the HDDs sometimes vibrate which makes a noise. A gentle tap of the case normally stops it for me.
It either vibrates when it powers on, or it doesn't, it has never bothered me enough to look into it but I reckon it is one of the HDDs rattling against the caddy?
Mine runs Plex and torrents at the same time. It has also run SABnzbd and Plex at the same time. I have not used Sick Beard and Couchpotato before.
