[QUOTE="slimmj0k3r, post: 696689, member: 86349"] Hey All, I've been running my MP Single seat setup for about a year or so now and i absolutely love it. My current setup consists of one PC and a server to store all my music and movies. The server and my PC are ran off a gigabit switch which gives me NO problems whatsoever. Recently We've decided to move and buy a new house :D, first thing I thought of was to build a new multi-seat setup and really explore MP's capabilities. My plans are to convert my current PC into a TV server (its a quad core AMD system, I'm pretty sure that is capable correct?) and pick myself up some Zotac Zbox's as my client PCs. Initially I will be toying around with one system before i do a full roll out throughout the rest of the house. I'm aiming for 3-5 clients total but might need room for some additional clients if needed. Here's where I need help. I've been doing research on setting up a TV server but I'm pretty lost as to what type of TV tuners to get and what not.
