What is it that makes something "a great Myth FE box", as opposed to "
greate Myth FE/BE box"?

I am asking, not having looked at the specs for this particular box at
all, so there could be something quite obvious (such as, it's
diskless) that makes my question moot.

I am about to build a Myth box to replace my antiquated Series 2
(analog) TiVo so that I can record OTA digital broadcasts.  If this
box has enough room for a disk or two, wouldn't it make a great FE/BE
box as well?  WOOT has supplied me with a USB tuner, so I don't need
any slots.  Or am I missing something?
