[QUOTE="nate, post: 44375, member: 10474"] It's been a while since I studied networking, but I think multicasting results in more or less the same network utilisation regardless of the number of clients. The client should be able to timeshift as many streams as the network can carry. If user 1 starts watching channel 1 on client 1 then client 2 can start timeshifting channel 1. Then if user 2 then starts watching channel 2 on client 2 then client 1 can start timeshifting channel 2 as well. Basically maxiumum the number of streams multicast on the network at any one time will be up to the number of tuners in the server. Someone mentioned earlier in the thread that mythtv shares timeshiting files using NFS. I have no idea how MCE is handling streaming. yes. I drop in here every now and then to see what's going on.
