Im thinking about making another setup were my backend and front end are
seprate. This of course is obviously doable, however what about this:
Backend has 2 PVR cards, and records to a HD that is on the FRONTEND's
box. The front end can then be taken off the network and used seperatly.
Example: Say I go on a lot of trips for a week at a time. I want to
take a small box with all of my recorded shows on it. All I would have
to do is unplug the frontend (something small like an EPIA M10000) and
take it with me. And it would operate just fine.
Of course then you have the question 'what about the backend durning
these times? Where would it record to?' Well, it could be turned off,
or mabye have its own HD to record to in the case that the front end was
not online.
Possible or dreaming?
