[mythtv-users] Will this setup work?

[Rajil Saraswat]

Hello,
I have a FreeBSD NAS which i would like to use as a backend server since it
is always on. In addition i have a linux htpc which i would like to switch
on/off on as needed basis. The htpc is directly connected to the
television.

My tv tuners are a bunch of HDPVRs. Unfortunately these are not supported
in FreeBSD. So i was thinking of using low power raspberry pi devices to
collect the video streams from HDPVR and pass them to FreeBSD server for
storage. The FreeBSD will be the primary backend and HTPC will be the
primary front end. However, i am not sure what role should be defined for
raspberry pi.

A crude sketch of the setup is at

Will this work?

Thanks
