[mythtv-users] Timeshifting on a diskless Front End?

[Donald Hughes]

I searched through the FAQ and never found an answer to this question.  If I 
use a centrally-located server for all recording and disk storage, would a 
separate, possibly diskless, Front End be able to timeshift live TV?  I 
guess it would be doing this over the network, which may have negative 
performance consequences, but is it possible?

The topology I have in mind is to replace two Tivos with a central MythTV 
server and two MythTV front ends. I was considering using old XBoxes for the 
front ends.  Since setting up a system like this could take a considerable 
amount of time and a nontrivial amount of cash, I would appreciate any 
feedback you guys have on this plan.  I know you guys probably hear these 
kinds of questions asked all the time, so I apologize for being repetitious. 
  If there's a post or webpage out there somewhere, please point me to it.

Thanks for your knowledge and time,
Donald Hughes
