acegis Posted September 27, 2010 Share Posted September 27, 2010 Hi, I would like to install my home server broadcasting HD-TV over the home network. My only concern is a hardware - I heard it doesn't have to be a powerful machine but what exactly it means? The server will be equipped with two DVB-S2 USB cards and should stream two HD channels simultaneously. Will be also serving my movies, pictures etc. over the 1000MB home network. I am considering the following options: 1. the old laptop P4 1,6 GHz (IBM X31 - this is what I have) 2. "home made" nettop with single atom processor 1,6 Ghz, 10Watt power consumption (this is what I would like to have in the future) Will be such hardware sufficient? Quote Link to comment
