[QUOTE="mehenrik, post: 643735, member: 100472"] I am planning setting up a server for TV reception and file serving in my house. My LAN at home is 1 GBit/s. The MP client connected to my TV will be on another computer. Please, let me know if this is not a good idea... The TV-server will have two receivers for Canal Digital satellite for Norway, using a dual DVB-S2 or two single S2 receivers. I believe that one CI is enough to record and view two different channels simultaneously, either because only one decryption is going on at any time, or that the CI can handle multiple decryptions simultaneously. Let me know if this is too optimistic. - Which current TV cards (and CI) work well ? - Is PCIe any advantage for the TV cards? - Any difference in cams? Just buy a Conax cam and it all works...? - What are the requirements of the server regarding video decoding - nothing? Video decoded at client and server just storing or streaming data unmodified (except for decryption)? - Anyone had success or issues with combining TV-Server and file server? - When you have separated the MP client and TV-Server, will there be any delays, or will it feel like it is local? If you only have input to some of these questions, please let me hear what you know. [/QUOTE]
