that's some interesting news :)  I'll be glad to get a copy of your patch. But 
it would be great if you could still make it possible to use recording 
capabilities on the client, as i use a ff card in my client. Maybe something 
like if there is no free dvb device on the server (watch for conflicting 
timer entries) then the client should record it. Default still is recording 
on the server. that would be fine. 
Thanks a lot for your work!
