I am currently running GBPVR on a old computer (1.8 P4) and i'm thinking retiring it to the lounge to be run as a media center. I am also planning to get another computer which will be based in my office.
What I thought I might do is use the office PC as the main storage PC. The old PC will go in the lounge and have the tv card (only because the remote plugs into it). I am planning on connecting them via wifi.
My main question is what sort of demands are put on the network in terms of streaming media, or storing on another pc on the network?? Will WiFi handle it??
I could put the TV card in the new pc and use the old one purely as a client. The main down side of this is the remote wont work. Does anyone have a good idea to get around this??
I'd like to hear your thought or experiences before I go out and buy the hardware.
Thanks
Paul
