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. -- Jeff "Muddy" Waters <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
