Upon bootup DVarchive should, by default, seek out and open all existing
RTV's on your lan you need do nothign to "open" them

There are a number of tabs.. One is listings, these are stored on your
system but it uses the serial of one of your real RTV's to get them from
the rtv-home Anoter tab is DVR explorer, here is where you find the
shows on each and every RTV (or DVArchive program) on the net Check out
the other tabs too.

But you should not need to "open" a dvr unless you started DVArchive
with the "-nonetwork" switch

The Replays use port 80. This can not be changed.

It's hardcoded in the Replay software. There is no option to change
this.

In a few minutes. You may prefer to have the automated Replay
discovery active (and DVA will work better this way too). I finally
got it to work, after trying a lot of things. Your firewall must allow
use of the IP address 239.255.255.250 This is NOT an internet address,
but is used locally for uPnP.
