Building my own PVR / Media Clients

[Nigel Giddings <nigel@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,



Having seen a few comments on here re Myth TV and PVRs I thought I would
ask a general question=85



I am a long time TiVo user and am surprised that no one has matched the
functionality available 10 years ago=85



I am a long term fan of XBMC right back to the early days of buying Mars
Bars to get an Xbox cheap=85



Currently using XBMC on my Laptop as I am working away from home and the
latest build is great=85



I was thinking of updating my home system to use XBMC on Raspberry Pi(s) as
Clients for a number of TVs around the house. Possibly via WiFi if it will
stand it=85



What I wanted advice on was the backend. I would like one central
PVR/Server and was going to try TVHeadend again on a Raspberry Pi but
wanted to be able to record multiple streams of Terrestrial TV. Being able
to record two never seems enough so maybe 4 or go the whole hog and have
access to all muxes at all times?



I have a couple of NAS in the network which I would like to use for storing
recorded content, I use an unRaid for my Media storage at the moment. The
other NAS is a Terrastation.



I would want to be able to view Live TV from any TV , review EPG and set
recordings and watch content from all TVs as well. Using Android Tablet /
Handsets for remote functionality also seems a good idea.



Solution needs to have a high WAF of course.



Thanks in advance



Nigel
