[mythtv-users] Record on Backend, Watch LiveTV on Frontend?

[Albert Santoni]

Well, thank you very much to everyone who replied.
This information is very useful. :)

I'll be sure to keep these messages around in, as they will definitely come
in handy.

To everyone who contributes to Myth: Keep up the good work. I've done quite
a bit of C++ programming (you'd be surprised what a 16 year old and too much
time can do... 3d engines baby) and from what I've seen, the entire Myth
project looks to be very well organized and programmed.
Keep it up. :)
