I can only say that I use NFS to watch the recordings on my computers,
and I use nfs to move the recordings to my workstation to edit and
convert them to XviD.
I suppose it would be useable with your mythtv storage on an NFS
share... however I personally would stick to using a HD on the computer
your mythbackend is running on. If for some reason your network goes
down (switch/cable etc..) you would loose the ability to record.
Make sure your network/computers can sustain high r/w data flow if your
going to put your storage and mythbackend on different machines.
