What server is needed to broadcast 10 full hd channels?
Hi experts,
I'm facing this issue I want to consult on.
I need to broadcast 10 HD channels on the web, to about 5k users ,that will watch them on their satellite receivers.
What kind of hosting service do I need to accomplish this and what kind of software do I need to upload from my
satellite receiver to the server and then from the server to the net ,compressed perhaps ,and then what kind of plugin software do I need to install on the clients' receiver and what kind should the receiver be.
I need to know in general how much all that costs and how it is accomplished ,but then I also need to go over it in great detail!
Any help would be appreciated.

I have cable internet connection ,can make the several goes up to 100Mbits download stream I'm not so sure about the upload but will sure not exceed 100Mbits. In 1and1 they have dedicated servers that can serve up to 1Gbit/s trafic they have ssd drives with 1 terra storage.Linux/Windows.
Now does this help in anyway ? And where exactly does this Akami fit in?

You need 200Gbps to serve the TV == two thousand cable connections.

hi all,
giltjr:
I am evaluating if I am going to go through with this , the thing is I am asked to be broadcasting a satellite station over the net ,hence Full HD 24/7. Now I want to know how I will be able to do this.
No I know this will take a lot of BandWidth, I actually am not sure if it is technically possible ! That's why I first wanted to consult!

It is technically possible using multicast. But that usually works in providers private networks, as some of them tend to kill multicast.
10 primary streams of 4Mbps sounds a piece of cake for infrastructure you have, but distribution infrastructure really is not.

Thank you all for your time and kindness.
I am not going through with this project at the moment ,for the technicalities don't add up with me.

For 5000 users you need one of internet-wide CDNs like Akamai (Or 200Mbps internet connection in your office)
Your server is not so important. More important for your own CDN is that you dont pay for megabytes.
