Does anyone run a tuner into a server and stream the video around the house?

My daughter wants a TV in her bedroom now she's a little older but threre isn't a coax point around. I have an aerial on the roof split to other rooms.

I do have a small server rack in the attic next to the splitter and was considering hooking into the server, has anyone ran their tuner into a PC and then streamed/transcoded the video around the house?

What software did you run on the PC and what dd you run client side?

Thanks :)

Have a look at TVHeadEnd, I think that does what you want.

oh wow, this project is still going! Used this back in the day.

tvheadend on linux server with tuner(s), kodi + pvr plugin on clients If mythtv is still going it can do the same thing

This is my solution as well, server under the stairs with coax splitter into 4 XBox One USB tuners.

Raspberry Pi as client with tvheadend client. Works great but considering moving to NextPVR as there appears to be more development whereas TVHeadEnd seems to have stagnated.

There's a german producer of routers which have that as a feature - maybe other brands offer that feature, too?

Here'sa link in German describing the setup:
