ExtremeTech has an article showing you how to build your own home television server, which lets you centralize recording, storage, and distribution of video over your home network. With a home television server you can watch what you want, when and where you want it. The typical home television server can: receive broadcast video; provide full personal video recorder (PVR) functionality, including pause, rewind, fast forward/reverse, and selection of shows to record; compress recorded video allowing for storage of many hours of content; record video on a server for playback on multiple networked clients; play recorded video, MP3 audio, and DVDs; provide a client user interface suitable for use on a television screen, from across the room, via remote control; and create DVDs from recorded video or other sources.
