What I've read on the forum suggests that the amount of tuners available 
on the network is how many computers can watch.  So a two tuner device 
would allow two computers simultaneous viewing (after configuration of 
the driver on each computer to go to the correct tuner on the device). 
If it was RTSP et al,, then it seems the limit would be in the network 
bandwidth and compatibility wouldn't be a few OS's, it would be anything 
that can watch the stream.  Streaming would be awesome though if 
bandwidth were the only limitation here.
