A single DVB-T stream is of the order of 2 mbit/s so you can run quite a
lot of them over a single piece of wire before you can expect problems.

We commonly have three separate boxes viewing MythTV recordings, all
coming from the same server and they show no signs of problems.  The
server hardly seems to notice it is happening.
