Right, Freevo 2.0 has Freevo User Interfaces and Freevo TV Devices and they can be on different machines. There can be only one TV Server but all clients can talk to it. | schedule record on specific device | ui ---------> tv server --------------------------> tv dev | ^ | bedroom ---------| The next step for the 2.0 architekture will be to have the laptop outside your LAN and you can still watch live TV.
