I have a dedicated box for my gaming community, I sell 1 12 slot private to help the server cost.
They are a cal main team, and usually have like 20 people in source TV watching their match. These numbers keep increasing, and I am worried that this will eventually cause lag, I have an additional windows server box in Germany, which i was thinking I could host the source TV on, is this possible? The game server box is in chicago, and I dont think it matters what latency someone gets on source TV..
If so how?
How many slots can my gameserver box hold without causing any lag (source tv slots) Does it use a lot of CPU?
Thanks!!

Darn... bc I have seen companies do it, like NFO, they have an external server or two just for stv.

Was browsing my cvarlist and did a search for TV, these commands came up that might be interesting (don't ask me how they should be entered though  )
Code:
"tv_port","27020 ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Host SourceTV port"
"tv_record","cmd",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Starts SourceTV demo recording."
"tv_relay","cmd",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Connect to SourceTV server and relay broadcast."
"tv_relaypassword","0 ",,,,,,"NOTIFY","PROTECTED",,,,,,"DONTRECORD",,,,,,,"SourceTV password for relay proxies"
"tv_relayvoice","1 ",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Relay voice data: 0=off, 1=on"
"tv_retry","cmd",,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,"Reconnects the SourceTV relay proxy."
