Well ... it works !

I have an AMD64 3200+ (single core, not particularly powerful by 
todays standards) running Debin plus Myth (Backend) from the 
Debian-Multimedia repo. Myth is one of several guests, and everything 
runs on a single 1.5TB Western Digital Green drive. A single HVR-1110 
(IIRC) does multirec, and it can record two programs while playing 
another through a frontend.

It struggles if it tries to commflag a recording, while recording 
two, while playing back ! That is an I/O limitation I suspect.


So no, you aren't breaking new ground.
