Using DVB-T in the UK most SD programs are between 2.5 -> 4.5 mbit a second. I use a sheevaplug with 3 DVB-T USB dongles which can record up to 6 programs from 3 separate muxes at a time. This backend device runs MythTV with the UPNP module. It writes to an external disk using e-sata. Next to the TV I have a Dune HD101 connected to powerline adapter. This sees the MythTV box as a DLNA server. Various laptops in the house can run MythTV frontend to also view programs/setup recordings. The same setup could possibly be duplicated with two Raspberry PIs. Deri
