[QUOTE="Callumgw, post: 913890, member: 76295"] Hi there, I'm looking to move the TV service out of the lounge room and onto the server in the study. I've been running the current setup for a while and added a client in the kids playroom about a year ago. The second client doesn't have access to tvserver. Its all a bit clunky and recording can be a pain, so I thought it was time to invest in a proper server setup. I already run a HP Proliant ML110 box (microAtx) with linux (ubuntu server ed). The server already supplies SqueezeboxServer, NAS functions and torrent client. I'd like to use my existing Hauppage Hvr1300 and Hd500 tv cards. So to serve up TV at 1080i and record at least one other channel simultaneously, so would I benefit from a graphic card to help processing, or would a i3 with hd4000 inbuilt graphics do fine? How important would RAM be? 16gb and Win7x64? or is all this overkill? Will this be OK for MP2? or should I wait? Any thoughts or experience appreciated! C [/QUOTE]
