I haven't tried the other pvr setups in xbmc, so I wouldn't know. But in wmc if you are watching a live tv stream and the tuner is needed for an about-to-start recording, it opens a dialog and asks if you want to cancel the recording so you can continue watching. This can't be done in the xbmc server/client setup currently, the best I could do is when the live tv stream shuts off, it throws up a notification saying the tuner is needed for recording.
Yes, I am only writing this, and trying it on, windows (its all I have). Yes, there is a server program that needs to run on the main wmc machine, it handles the interface between the xbmc clients and the wmc service, and it handles the live tv streams and other bookkeeping type functions. The server will always be windows only (for obvious reasons) but the client could be theoretically compiled to other platforms.
