[QUOTE="Mew, post: 355183, member: 29012"] Hi Duggy My understanding from reading previous posts is that the spec for a standalone TV Server does not need to be that high. The performance is normally needed for the client side, decoding MPEG-2 or H.264 data into pictures and sound. All a standalone server is doing is transferring the TV Streams (in the case of UK DVB-T MPEG-2) from the TV card onto disk and then streaming this to clients. I guess if you have a number of clients then disk performance will need to be reasonable. I think in theory with 6 DVB-T tuners you would cover all Freeview channels for as many clients as you need as I believe TV Server can record or timeshift one or more channels as long as they are on the same multiplex using only one tuner.
