All tests I done in my home local network. All my network elements (including PC`s, WiFi NetGear AP, TV sets, server, satboxes, PVR, printer, IP phones and even Samsung refrigerator with tablet buildin in front door) are connected over class 5 or 6 wire to 24 ports Catalyst Cisco switch (old one, but much more powerful than my home needs but it support PoE for IP Phones). All elements except smartphone and tablet of course. Internet DSL router is connected to Catalyst too but in reality of tests I done, router is not important. So, in my meaning, network is not a bottleneck.
I use both Twonky and Serviio on the same physical Linux server as DLNA serwers. I can stream over Twonky all serwer stored video files to any renderer, even HD, over LAN without any transcoding to TV or PC. Using Vu+ Android client I can stream without transcoding, to tablet except HD channels.
Using Serviio, I can stream HD files from server to tablet in medium quality, from time to time choppy, especially in the beginning.
Serviio/PC-Mediabrowser - HD (server stored) file are from time to time choppy, especially in the beginning.
Live stream from PVR to ServiiGo (via server of course) in works properly in all resolutions with SD live streams, except 2 or 3 "hangs" for half a second at the beginning.
Live stream od HD streams from PVR via server to ServiiGo is always choppy in medium and low resolution (much more often in medium). Original HD resolution is not playable on my tablet.
