Is is possible to transcode and stream just one stream of 1080i DVB-T/ATSC to 1080i H.264/AVC in realtime in software using just a fast CPU? If so, what level of CPU would I need? Is this possible with an Intel 3.0 GHz Core2Duo?

Why do you want to transcode, can't you just restream?

This is correct. Most of our local digital stations have no subchannels, so the main video stream is about 18.5mbps per channel. I would like to transcode this to about 7mbps AVC in realtime if this is possible.
