[QUOTE="mm1352000, post: 736110, member: 82144"] It is the responsibility of the machine that displays the video to decode it. In other words, when a client connects to an external server, the server "extracts" the video stream from the tuner and sends it to the client, but it is the *client* that actually decodes the video and displays it (which is the hard part from a CPU perspective).
