Will a gigabit network handle 7 simultaneous streams of multiple sorts? ie; 4 x HDTV and 3 x DVD all at once.2. Will the server handle the 7 streams simultaneously CPU, RAM and HDD wise. Even if I use seperate HDDs for each clients TV recording etc.3. Would it be a better option to run 2 servers instead and split the tuners down the middle and share the load between them.4. If I run a dedicated analogue TV tuner alongside the digitals on the server for a single foxtel input, will this one additional channel live happily alongside the other DVB channels on the clients? ie: Be able to change channels seemlessly from one HDTV channel to the anologue channel for foxtel...I know this is alot to ask, but if I can pull this off, I hope to be able to pump some useful knowledge back into the community and if I make some $$ on the side, I will certainly make sure the MP tips jar receives a well deserved top up.<img src="data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7" class="smilie smilie--sprite smilie--sprite8" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" loading="lazy" data-shortname=":D" />  in advance!!</blockquote>
