[QUOTE="kerpow, post: 82963, member: 20978"] Yes, maybe starting to go off topic a bit, but its all kinda relevant seeing as this is about how the new system will work. First off, don't get me wrong, I don't imagine that anyone will have great difficulties, but it is possible that a heavily used network (especially one that is not used just for TV) could experience problems. And in the case of the questioner I am simply trying to say that if they don't need a NAS for some other reason then there is little point using one as it will increase network traffic. If the data is being stored on a NAS from the TV server, and then viewed by a separate client there is three times the traffic on the network compared with a direct server to client link. The data goes from the server to the NAS to encode (1), and then when requested (in this example at the same time as encode) back from the NAS to the server (2) for the server to provide the stream to the client (3). That's more bandwidth, yes, plus there are 3 chances for corruption/glitches of the data Compared to; without the NAS the stream would just go from the server to the client (1) end of story. Well with a 155m connection it would take a LOT of streams to clog up! But the point of ATM is that it is asynchronous (that's what the A stands for), it was designed for real time data streams, and its possible to set real QoS (quality of service) and even section off 'pipes' (virtual circuits) in the network to ensure that there is enough bandwidth for a particular service. But that really IS going off topic! :) Cheers [/QUOTE]
