[QUOTE="craigparris1, post: 372681, member: 75254"] Hi kaisersose, I don't know the architecture of MediaPortal intimately, but I would imagine that if you have just a TV-Server, which is only serving up the TV stream to clients and not actually being used for watching TV on that machine, then the CPU requirement will not be particularly high. It should just be passing the incoming stream off to the clients - not doing any decoding of the signal itself. It will be the client PCs that will need either a high speed CPU or a graphics card with hardware acceleration. In my case, I'm running an AMD le-1600 (2.4 GHz, I think) in a single-seat machine (ie. TV-server and MediaPortal client), with a GeForce 8500GT graphics card. I don't actually output to a HD TV, but I can watch HD channels with no problems and the CPU load is hardly anything at all.
