You will need one client per TV

Based on my own experience you won't be satisfied with MythTV as a music
player! I would suggest something like Squeezebox for that - the server can
run on your central box.

A pc capable of decoding and showing the recordings or a "thin client" of
some sort depending on requirements. If you go for pc's, you can run
diskless clients booting from your server or "normal" setup booting from
local disks.
