[QUOTE="tiptaptoe, post: 288657, member: 80784"] Ok I really have no reason to complain considering I was able to get the TV server/client setup running without much difficulty with no experience whatsoever with anything involving a server. I am disappointed that it appears the client PC still has to have a lot of guts in order to watch a live HDTV stream. Is there anyway this can be set up where the server PC does the bulk of the work and the client PC just displays the TV stream? I have a quad core PC that could probably handle a few HDTV streams with no real slow down and some older PC's that struggle mightily just to display one. Anyway, what are the benefits of using a TV server/client setup rather than just allowing each PC on a network to handle TV as you see fit? Im not sure if Im asking that well, and again just the fact that this works and is free I dont feel like I have any right to complain. Just a bit disappointed it didnt work the way I was expecting. Also, is there any way the TV server can be configured to serve media files like divx videos, DVDs, saved HD content? [/QUOTE]
