Well, after much trial and error I have successfully gotten a Virtual Machine backend and an Atom based Secondary Backend/Frontend talking. I ran into several problems while trying to set everything up from version mismatches to IP addresses not being entered just so. I’m recording a show to test out the backend based commericial flagging and transcoding. The Atom box has the tuner in it and will be used for all matter of frontend activities like watching HD movies, live TV and recorded TV. The backend for the moment will simply manage whats going on and lend a helping hand to jobs. Eventually the plan is to use a USB TV tuner and pass the device to the VM so that the backend does all of the work. For the time being this is a great proof of concept.
