The backend consists of tuners, computing power and storage.  The tuners
are attached via a USB, the storage via ethernet, to the computer.  When
dealing with TB of data the storage is as specialised as the tuner's
job.  Putting it all in one box (using internal hard drives and tuner
cards) is one way to go.  But it makes upgrading hard and it makes all
the storage unavailable (by design, can be circumvented) to other processes.

I paid a lot of money (relatively speaking for my storage), it says it
can talk NFS so it bloody well better!  I am unfamilier with iSCSI.
I'll look it up.

I will be taking it back to the shop as it has 2 1TB discs and I see
1TB.  That is why I bought it at a shop, so I could take it back.  We'll
see.  I paid 20% more than I would have paid ordering the parts from
pricespy => cheapest sources.
