No reason that I can think of. That's probably the way to go, it's just not 
something I had considered. I can't remember the last time anyone here watched 
live tv so I don't think we'll be using the STBs manually. Thanks for the 
suggestion!

You could still watch live tv with a consolidated backend still work if each 
frontend has a lirc compatible device (and the backend had lirc compatible 
blasters)
Right? (or are you referring to watching live directly through the STB)
