Lan TV

[ngcutura]

Hi folks,

I have a question that might be alrady answered but as I don't know
even what to look for, here is my question.

I want a TV card that is capable of presenting several channels at the
same time in high resolution (the highest possible). Then I want to
attach a streaming server to this card and configure it to multicast
each channel found on TV card. Then I want to connect a client on
another computer in my LAN to this server and choose a channel to
watch. Each client that connects may choose a channel (stream) to watch
independantly of others.

I am aware that this may eat up server resources quickly but I would
appreciate solution that says "this card may play nnn channels
simulateously, each channel requires mmm MB of memory, this server may
provide as many multicast streams as you want but each stream requires
kkk MB of memory and bbb bandwidth..."

I'd very much appreciate Linux solution.

Thanks in adavnce,
NGC

FYI, I use TV cards since many years but I don't know any end user TV
card (I mean under 200 Euros/dollars) able to do this.

you'd need several tuners to display several channels - obvious really.
