[QUOTE="Galileo, post: 147057, member: 18433"] I currently use the old tv engine but I would love to try the new one when it's stable and out of beta. I don't use the SVN builds for the 2.2 because I don't want a lot of tweaking. I really prefer using stable products. Given the fact that I am already running a 2003 server in my network serving the files and authenticating users I am interested in the multi seat setup. It would require another server running (I don't want to break my entire network if 1 server goes down) but that's ok. What are the hardware requirements for a mediacenter client once the serving is all done by the tv-server? Because imho it would only require a NIC, tv-out and audio-out capability with little to no cpu power. All of those tasks are taken over by the server. Am I right? Because then an old p2/p3 system could be used to be placed under each in house TV. It would be able to operate fanless since there's no heat generation and therefor would run silent.
