[mythtv-users] diskless backend?

[Alex Brekken]

To be honest, I don't know if this would work, but even if it did - I'm
curious to know what the benefit would be? When watching liveTV you'll be
doing a full roundtrip with the video-stream across your network. Why not
just do the capturing where the disks are and have a diskless frontend?
