How to record directly to a network drive

[MicroDon]

I have just bought the DNS323 2 bay unit. In want to record unswervingly to these network drives but my problem is that the MCE is not allowing me to do this. It is only recording the local drives. Can you tell me any way to do this? Also tell me that if I move the files which are recorded to a network drive and I wish to display them in recorded TV section then how I can do that. Thank you.

OK, you can do the following and this will do the thing that you want to do. Go to start and run. There you have to type regedit.exe and press enter. This will open the registry editor.
Expand HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Expand SOFTWARE
Expand Microsoft
Expand Windows
Expand Current Version
Expand Media Center
Expand Service
Click on Recording
Now you have to edit the path RecordPath so that it can share the names. For example \\DNS323\Recorded TV. You should confirm that it has anonymous write access for that share.
