[QUOTE="petzlux, post: 170333, member: 47616"] Setup depends on what you want to do ! I see that you have a very powerful CPU for the server and much slower CPU's for the clients. Now if you only want to record SDTV, then you dont need such a powerful CPU for the server. As all the server does is record the TS to Harddisk, it doesnt need to do any processsing of the videostream (except if you want to transcode recordings to more efficient formats, but thats optional). The clients should also cope with SDTV. Now if you want to watch and record HDTV, than, again, the Server CPU can be comparatively old/slow, as again all that is done is recording transmitting without touching the TS. But the clients than need to be able to decode the HDTV, and there you will need something better than an ancient AMD Athlon XP. [/QUOTE]
