Hi Emil,

I was thinking about it too. And I use the second solution:

1) One VDR-machine with at the moment 2 DVB-s-cards
and one large drive (>100 GB). So I spend as much power 
as neccessary.

2) One seperate samba/nfs-file server as archive for
recordings, hosted in a 19" 8-drive-bay case.  So the power
consumption is as low as possible. I only switch this 
server on, if I would like to save recordings (appr. one time
in two weeks) or watch archived recordings.
