Default Can I do this? Stream live Tv to client machines

Hi...I'm new to MediaPortal and am interested in doing the following. It seems like TV Server will accomplish this, I just wanted to get a clear answer from someone.

My Setup:
1 Server Machine (w/old tv tuner/capture card)
2 Client Machines
Gigabit wired LAN
Cable TV connection

What I'd like to do:
- Stream Live TV from server to client machines
- Watch one show on one client and watch another show on another client
- Record one show while watch another

Thanks so much!

  • Stream Live TV - install Tv client on your client machines, and follow wiki
  • Watch two different shows: you will need two different capturing cards
  • Record/watch at the same time: again you need two cards

One card will make do in the recording/multiple clients scenarios if the channels are located on the same transponder and if we are talking dvb cards.
