Hello,<br>
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. </p>
<p dir="ltr">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.</p>
<p dir="ltr">A crude sketch of the setup is at<br>
