Hi all,
I want to build a server for streaming DVB-S2 to up to 8 clients in my LAN.
Some clients are bound to use WLAN and I think about transcoding stream for them.

Does anyone know what hardware is needed?
I am not sure about transcoding with gpu or cpu. Would I need a dedicated graphics card (with what power?) or would a good cpu already fit my needs (like Intel Core i7 with integrated graphics)?

I need to know because we start renovating our home and I need to decide if I can stream tv over network or need to plan using common coax cables and set top boxes.

Thank you.
Kind regards,
Christian

Install Cat 6 in your house. All my RG6 coax has been replaced by Cat 6 for the same system you have described.
