We discussed something similar to this for "mobile backends" i.e. laptops some time ago. Check the archives.

Would it be possible to write a plugin for the frontend that will allow you to browse and download available recordings on different backends? I imagine a menu option "Other backends" which will lead to a list of hosts available to connect to. Clicking on a host would bring up the available recordings on that host. From there choose to download a recording to your local backend. When the download was complete, your recording database would be updated and the downloaded program will show up in your recorded list.
This is almost the same as what the slave backend gives you - but the slave backend streams the video to you (right?) so its not useful for low-bandwith links (cable modems) So, the idea in a nutshell: Do a backend-to-backend copy, update the recording database, and slap a pretty UI on top of it to make it pretty.
What do you think? Would the myth protocol need to be modified at all for this? I imagine all you have to do is request a stream from the remote backend but instead of displaying it save the show to disk instead.
Thanks,
Min
