what Linux software can use MP as TV server ? (1 Viewer)

Yes, I still use MP in the livibg room with DVB-S2 tuner cards.
Now I'd like to be able to see TV on the home-cinema room , but as as tiny hardware as possible,
Optimal solution would be a Raspberry PI, but I the unholy bloat called windows is not willing.
Without infecting my home with more winbloat in its dedicated VLAN behind firewall;

Hi.
Don't expect too much from the Pi, especially in a Home Cinema Room. It is working, but not as nice as wanted. I would go for a J1900 board, twice as expensive as Pi, but more than 10 times faster. You can run OpenElec from an USB stick on this too. But I recommend using a cheap SSD instead...
Pi can be a solution in Childs Room or sleeping room, but for Big Screen Cinema I never would use it...

thanks for the heads up about Raspberry Pi performance/J1900.
