One backend could theoretically do it, but you'd probably need more to
just host the tuner cards.


You'd need one tuner for every tv that would be displaying live tv at
any given time.

So 75 backends with 4 tuner cards each?


You'd also need redistribution rights from the broadcasters, which I
believe would mean that you'd need a c-band dish so you can work it out
with them directly (since the cable company certainly won't give it to you).

Nope, they most likley won't. Whew, yeah getting distribution rights is 
going to be good. Not all that difficult from what I understand, just 
expensive.

Thanks for the quick response.
