MCE Extenders



Some MCE Extender questions..as currently I only have one analogue tuner
card but even now I'm impressed

If I have a digital terrestrial/FreeView card(s) installed in MCE and I
record something I assume it takes the digital data straight to disk so
the quality is retained and CPU load is minimised.

Can I record multiple channels simultaneously assuming they are on the
same multiplex ?

Following on from this if I stream live TV, or a recording to an MCE
extender device like say an XBox 360 is the data streamed on the network
still the (raw) digital data stream and again could I have several
extenders each showing a different live station on the same MUX ?

Lastly if I add two or more FreeView cards can MCE arrange to set them
each to a different MUX such that more channels become available to
extenders - say 5 channels from 3 cards, 2 of which would be sharing a
MUX say ?  I understand a 100mbs network could handle around 15 streams
theoretically and with good switches I could isolate bits off a gigabit
backbone.
