[QUOTE="pilehave, post: 720796, member: 71550"] 1. Yes :) I don't have much experience on how to cleverly handle podcasts, but I'm sure it can be done. 2. As many as you want, but you are restricted by the load that timeshifting and recording will pose on the harddrives in the TV-Server. This is variable, but I would suggest using a RAM-drive for timeshifting - but only if you have enough RAM, 8 GB should be sufficient for three clients...are you thinking RAID 0/RAID 10? RAID 0 will increase performance but double the risk of total failure of the system. 3. I would skip Windows XP and use Windows 7 x64 if possible, unless you are bound by driver restrictions. a 64-bit OS will allow usage of RAM greater than 4 GB. 4. Again, you could probably run TV-Server on an Atom board if the harddrive setup is fast enough to no be the limiting factor. TV-Server doesn't encode or decode the streams, it pretty much just records it to the harddrive/timeshift-file. 5. If you run multi-seat (one server, multiple clients) your TV-Server will be timeshifting and therefore storing the files. If you run single-seat (TV-Server and client on same machine X 3) the Revo will be used to handle tuners, recording,t imeshifting etc. Now...these are MY answers, others may think otherwise :) [/QUOTE]
