Don't think this is what he is after. He wants basically a "dumb terminal" at each TV with the more powerful back-end machine doing the decoding etc. top stream to the TVs. Not sure how that really works TBH short of something akin to VNC and agree a box at each system would be better. Maybe figure out a way to just have a server and PXE boot the other machines from the server? this would allow you to only have to maintain ONE copy of the software - would be nice for many TVs I'd think.
