From what I’ve been reading, it sounds like the client HTPC looses connection the WHS if you aren’t watching anything or accessing anything from the WHS.  In a home network environment, this type of situation happens on a regular basis.

That might be the case, though I don’t know why it would be happening, I’m not using sleep mode on either the HTPC or the Home Server, and there’s just the one switch between them.

The other thing I’m seeing occasionally is that even when the shows show up in the Recorded TV list, I get the “cannot find file” error when I go to play them. 

I guess I’ll just chalk it up to Media Center’s Recorded TV library not liking network shares and use the TV Library plugin or the Videos library instead.
