I'm assuming you're not talking about the frontends watching Live TV, but watching a scheduled recording. I don't know the answer if you're talking about Live TV. Once the recording's started I think you should be able to just pick it from the recordings menu in any (theoretically) number of frontends and view it. Regards, Phill
