Has anyone heard any rumors about a DVR app that would allow the ATV to function as a remote front-end to a back-end DVR server. I'm still using my trusty, old SageTV server back end with a SageTV HD300 extender which is great for Recording and Live TV as well as streaming 1080p movies. However, I then have the ATV (just upgraded from v3 to v4) to handle Netflix, HBOnow, and other services. I am looking forward to having a great Media streaming solution from the server to the ATV (for now, AirVideo is working well) That leaves only DVR/LiveTV functionality lacking for me to be 100% on the ATV platform.
So, any speculation about a Client/Server approach to getting a DVR app on the new ATV? XBMC with TV Plugin? MediaPortal? Others? To be honest, I'm a little behind, I've been using SageTV Server/Extender without issue for over 6 years now so haven't really looked at other alternatives.
