Here's the reply I sent to Stephen direct, copied here in case it can help
anyone else:

This is exactly how I run it (even down to the locations), 1 caveat I have
2 cards. With 1 card you may run into issues with the recordserver change
the channel on you or you changing the channel whilst recording! That
said, all you need to do is change set the VideoGroup on the machine in
the lounge to something like this:
TV_VIDEO_GROUPS = [
     VideoGroup(vdev='recordserver:1',
                desc='TV',
                group_type="dvb",
                ),
]

where vdev='recordserver:1' breaks down to recordserver=>the server in the
loft, 1=> the number of the DVB adapter to use. Finally you need to make
sure that you have the dvbstreamer instances started!

Couple of additional things, first you might want to enable AVS Only in
dvbstreamer. This means that only Audio, Video and Subtitles are streamed
not the interactive content. (use a startup file and add the single line
"setavsonly <Primary> on" to it.)

Second, not massively tested (ie the wife hasn't tried to break it) is the
livepauseserver which can sit on the record server and use the disk in the
loft for buffering, meaning you could have the lounge machine diskless.


Hope this is helpful.

Cheers

Adam
