The primary limitations of the RPi is lack of power and lack of memory, and a slave backend with digital tuners really needs neither of those. Recordings will need to be done over NFS, as MythTV does not support recording over the internal protocol. The NIC is tied in through the USB bus, so recording off a dual tuner and pumping that back out to the network is going to put a significant strain on it.<br>
