Copy setup to other WMC PC's

#1

I have three WMC PC's using HD Homerun Primes, EPG123 v1.7.1.12. I'm getting tired of manually syncing lineups, favorites, recordings among all three.

I see backing up the database includes lineup, recordings and subscriptions. What about favorite lineups?

So, what's the correct procedure to do this?

The backups include everything except your recording history, so you could create a backup on 1 station and restore on the others but why would you want to do that? It's kind of all-or-nothing on the restore, so all 3 stations would have the same recording requests and all 3 would be recording the same shows.

All I need is identical channel lists and favorite lists. Don't care about recording schedules. If I must also copy recording schedules, I can delete the undesired ones as needed.

So, by everything, you mean the favorite channel list as well, right?

Right. On the stations you are copying to, after the restore you can open the transfer tool and select all the requests on the right side, right-click and select to cancel.
