What 48 ports are you talking about?

LinuxMCE can handle as much as your NIC card can handle.  HD HomeRun devices use <40mbit per channel.

It shouldn't cause an issue.

Sounds like the issue is the HDHomeRuns.

I have seen this issue, myself, which leads me to believe that the HDHR needs either some segmentation, VLAN, and/or QoS action at the switch, as it tends to be very chatty.

The HDHR is very chatty, and it's all UDP streams, which can affect the switch buffers on inexpensive Ethernet switches.  As Thom said, if you have a layer 2 switch, putting it on it's own VLAN, or applying QoS are two possible options. I just put my HDHR on a dedicated non-routeable network adapter and switch, and configured MythTV to look for it on that segment.  It eliminated a lot of weird network issues (and I did that long before buying a Layer 2 switch).

HTH!
