Complete MediaCenter(Plex+autodownload+HDTVsource+Raspberry)

Well,

I discovered this packagehttp://www.readynas.com/forum/vi ... 36&t=69215 for our NAS when I was looking for tuto/solution/help/idea to create a nice and complete Media Center.

So I decided to look for a full media library + PVR solution with my new Readynas Ultra 2...

I think of :
Server = readynas Ultra 2
- python (prerequisite)
- transmission (add on)
- plex media server (media library)
- sickbeard (fork with download only from thepiratebay) - https://github.com/mr-orange/Sick-Beard
- couchpotato - https://github.com/RuudBurger/CouchPotatoServer
- maraschino (fork for plex) - frontend web interface (PLEX + SB + CP + transmission) - https://github.com/bob3695/maraschino
- DVBLink TV Server or TVheadEnd or MythTV as PVR server (backend)
- HDTV source ( TNT HD usb tuner)

Clients :
*At the moment* : Samsung HDTV connected with Samsung BR C5500 with Plex app
*Not yet* : Samsung HDTV connected to a Raspberry with latest Openelec 2.0 (with PVR fonction from XBMC Frodo) with
- DVBLink xbmc add-on http://dvblogic.com/wiki/index.php/DVBL ... t_for_XBMC or tvheadend add-on or mythtv add-on
- plexbmc xbmc add-on
- some Ipad and android devices, but it's not the point of my topic.

what's already installed and working :
- All the download system (sickbeard, couch, transmission)
- maraschino web interface
- Plex server and clients (ipad/android tablet/samsung BR C5500)
--> the solution for ios/android clients is nice with plex app
--> the solution with my samsung BR C550 can stream it to my HDTV but interface is slow and it's difficult to navigate in a large library like mine.
--> TNT HD TV from cable plugged directly to my HDTV

Results wanted:
- On my HDTV :A complete media center interface with HD TNT sources and my media libray all on the same HDMI canal and all integrated with the same skin. Navigation will be through a remote or ipad airplay or both 🙂
- On my ios/android devices : my media library available (I have already with the Plex server/clients premium pass solution)

My questions :
- Do you think this combo will work ?
- Is the readynas powerful enough for all of this ? i'm afraid about getting my HDTV sources through it...
- Any idea which tuner TNT usb is fine for being directly connected and recognized on the readynas ?
- in your opinion, dvblink is a good solution ? or TVHeadend is far better ?
