Sorry, I wan't being clear!

I travel quite a bit by train etc., so I figured I could download
recordings to the laptop's local drive for off-line viewing on the train
etc. (When unconnected to any type of network.)

I know myth uses a db to catalog the recordings, so I guess it's just a
case of copying the file and the relevant db entries?

I intend to install a server as a backend at home and two or three small
front-ends (probably diskless) for viewing around the house (using wired
ethernet.)
