Do you intend to record all 15 channels at once or something? Even if
that were true...
Maximum Channel bandwidth: 19 Mbit/s
5 family members watching at once at maximum bandwidth: 90 Mbit
15 Channels at 19 Mbit: 281 Mbit
371 Mbit Total, assuming everyone were watching at once and you were
recording all your channels at once (which would require at *least*
7-8 tuner cards).
As steve mentioned, you will run into other I/O bandwidth long before
you saturate a gigE network.
