Can anyone please give me a simple answer regarding HDTV streaming from the TV server to other PCs????

If I have powerful PC running the TV server application with a digital terrestrial TV (DVB-T) card, can I have any old PC to view the programmes in HDTV format? Basically does it translate the stream from H.264 to mpeg-2 or does it just forward the digital data to the client PC and I therefore need 3GHz dual core PCs or high end and expensive graphics card in the client PC to watch the programmes?
