			== Overview How LinuxMCE Works With VDR ==
			One system contains the TV reception cards, most of the time, DVB-S2 cards. Using Streamdev all other devices in the system receive TV streams. All timed recordings happen on the system with the TV cards.

			Each MD has a local VDR instance running. On x86 systems Xineliboutput is used to display the output of VDR on the local screen. On Rpis with RPIHDdevice is used.

			All EPG data is sourced from the central system.

			All timers are sent to the central system using the remote timers plugin.
