>> If I can't resolve the network performance issues then I have a plan B,
>> It's currently completely untested but I'm thinking of setting up a couple

>> to manipulate an instance of dvblast on the MOI - one for each tuner, the
>> Freesat transponders i'm interested in are advertised as between 30mbits/s
>> and 45mbits/s so multirec might not be an option, but it should manage two
>> simultaneous recordings, without the overheads of running backend over NFS.

>> The more I think about it the network tuner option sounds better than
>> running a slave backend (one less version of Mythtv to compile etc).
