From the TV side, YES MP can stream the same channel to multiple clients at the same time (there may be a slight difference between each client (1 second or so). Note that each client must select this channel and only one TV card will be used. The server as far as I am aware, can not force the clients to switch the that channel.As for music, I have read elsewhere in the forums, that music cannot be streamed to all clients based on one clients selection. Each client has control over what is listened to. To do this, I would maybe setup a playlist and load it into VLC (free on internet) and have it stream across the network (same as an internet radio station), and then have MP clients connect to that stream. A bit messy, but will do the job required. Again there may be some lag between clients though.
