Interesing to hear as I'm still planning and testing something alike.

How do you handle config / epg data?

Did you patch vdr to put the epg data into a different directory than 
/video on the server?

How do you manage the timers? Is there a patch for streamdev to put 
timers onto the server?

Or do you record with the clients into the mounted /video of the server? 
(Something I do not want to do since I'll be using wlan and this would 
be a waste of bandwith).

kind regards Philip
