I think you are looking for a to perfect solution. In a first step I
think this isn't necessary. I personally would be happy to have just the
functionality behind timer, schedule and recording menu replaced by
administration requests to the server. The user interface on the client
computer stays the same, but instead of getting the info locally
requests to the server will fullfil the function.

I hope that the new plugin interface will allow to replace the functions
hidden behind all the menu points to be replaced by new ones.
