Or for you powershell wippersnappers 'powershell restart-service channels-dvr' Or from a command-line 'SC stop channels-dvr' and 'SC start channels-dvr' You can start/stop it by running 'Services.msc' I dont know what will happen when the dvr tries to update. This will run the channels DVR as the local system account. Reg add HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Services\channels-dvr\Parameters /v Application /t REG_SZ /d 'C:\ProgramData\ChannelsDVR\latest\channels-dvr.exe' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Instsrv.exe' channels-dvr 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Windows Resource Kits\Tools\Srvany.exe'
download 2003 Server Resource Kit Tools - ONLY FROM MICROSOFT!.I was messing around today with the windows version and decided to play with running it as a service. EDIT: Channels DVR has this capability built in now.
