    you could stream but not sure if they could change the channel with out getting a direct feed into a tuner card of their own.

    Fully uncompressed AVI takes up about 33Gb/hour.

    That's 9.1megs per second required

    So under those circumstances - "no" but then you wouldn't be using an uncompressed feed anyway.

    Depends on the amount of machines on the network really but "probably" - at least the maths would work out - a normal VCD is say about 600megs/hour - 0.166megs a second - quite possible to pump that around a network to quite a few machines.

    So we'll go with a "yes"

    the number of machines on the lan shouldnt matter if you use multicasting.
