I was thinking about doing that but I've not got round to it yet. 
However, I'm not hopeful that it will work.  My frontend runs on the
backend box and whenever the frontend is running I see a regular blip of
the HD light - around 2 a second - even when not recording or viewing
TV, it's totally idle. 

Anyone know why is it doing this?
