You can't, except with remote desktop and the quality would be very poor at best.

Oh my, that's an understatement! I don't think MS ever designed remote desktop with audio and video streaming in mind.

Run a linux MythTV backend server with the tuner card.

Run a MythTV or WinMyth frontend on the clients.

However, similar to satellite systems, you can only tune one channel per tuner card, so you better hope you all want to watch the same thing.

Remote desktop etc won't work at all; you just get a black window or a message saying "overlay not available" or similar. You'll need something designed to stream video over a network.

Frameservers are what you are after. They serve frames from whatever device.

There are many.

Still the tuner can only tune a single channel at a time.

I suggest you all get TV cards.

and usually video overlays don't show up because they are not RGB (maybe YUY2+, UVUY etc)

As for me, i prefer using this software https://www.flexihub.com/share-tv-tuner-over-network.html to share a TV tuner among other computers. Moreover, this is a cross-platform solution, which can be found helpful by someone.

It's quite challenging to do that so. But for most, using TV cards seem to be a better way. i guess.
