TLDR; should NextPVR or TVHeadend be able to handle 2 client streams (same OTA channel) under docker on older hardware?

I am just trying to have two TVs playback the same OTA TV channel and while I can get playback to start on both, slowly they start to studder, and eventually the video hangs. Changed the server and client software but pretty much have the same results. Thoughts? Swap out any of the software? Config changes? Do I need to install TVH/NPVR native?

Here’s my setup:

• Ubuntu Server 24.04.1 LTS - kernel 6.8.0-35240528-generic
• 4 core i5-3450 CPU @ 3.10GHz
• 24 GiB RAM
• Hauppauge WinTV-HVR-950 hooked up to a powered antenna
• Tried docker containers of nextPVR and tvheadend. All other containers shutdown
• playback on ONN 4k and CGTV (tried VLC, Kodi, and others)
• All devices wired GigE
