Anyone tried running the Pi 2 as both a PVR back end and client, and recording to an external HDD? How well does it cope? How did the B+ do?

OE 5.0.3? There was a problem with OE 5.0.1 that harmed streaming performance.

I will likely give it a go as I am running TvHeadend on an 8 year old ATV, acting as a house TV server.....

The only really laggy thing I found on my well tweaked old RPi B+ was scanning back in a large media library over a local network. With 4 cores now on the RPi2 used for networking and low level housekeeping duties, everything is nice an quick.
Great value for the price paid.
