Well, this is a project still in the making, and i'm supposed to tell my friend whether it will work or not. Me myself i have not yet tried the tv server, i use a DM600 for my DVB-s and MP for my movies and music, the problem is that whatever i'm going to suggest based on that there will be machines to buy and money to be spent, so i was hoping that i could get your opinion on whether or not TV server (not necessairly 1 server, they could be as many as 4 servers) will be stable enough to provide high quality service to the end points, or maybe this is a bit experimental to have these people spend so much money on somtheing that maybe will not work. Just for your info, these people are clients of my friend who works in high-end home entertainment solutions and he is supposed right now to provide them with the solution for their entire house (which is a 3 floored villa built on 500m2) they already established the plans for the audio and data wireing of the house and now its only the equipment to set. the building of the house will still finish in like 3 months from now, so there si still some time to research this.
Anyways, im planning to setup a tv server in the next few days and try working with. i have 4 PCs to test. And deffinatly if this thing goes through, i will get you pictures of the entire network
mbb:
i really didn't understand that part when my friend explained it to me, but from what i understood is that the 16 lnb's are connected to some sort of a switch which then can double it to support 34 (or i guess 32) outputs which then are connected to the internal wiring of the house via one rf cable coming out of this switch ... something like that. i will try to find out more about this and try to get the brands of these devices
