A-yup.

I have actually been giving something like this some thought.

My idea goes even a bit further than this.

Let's say I have two backends, and each one of them has a tuner in it,
(or maybe even only one has a tuner)... it would be nice if those
backends could co-operate and schedule using the other backend's tuner.

Obviously a tuner in the local backend should have preference.  But
let's say that for one backend's schedule, there is a conflict, but at
the same time, the other backend has nothing recording.  The backend
with the conflict should be able to ask the other backend to do the
recording for it and then transfer the file when done and remove it from
the origin backend's recorded programs.  In fact it should not even be
registered on the backend that it was recorded on as having been
recorded.

Another scenario is that one backend has a conflict and the other
backend is already scheduled to record one of the conflicting
programs... the backend with the conflict should be able to schedule the
common recording via the other backend and record the conflicting
program locally.  So when the program that both backends wanted is done,
it's kept locally where it was recorded and also transferred to the
backed that wanted it recorded remotely.

Given this type of functionality, your mythbackend in Europe could
schedule recordings on your backend in the USA and have the recordings
transferred to be viewed locally.
