I think the key solution is to modularize VDR's internal structures, with well defined interfaces between them. A receiving module that provides stream sources, a recording module that does all the timer work, a frontend module that can display, a storage module that can store and provide videos, for example. A timer menu that belongs to a recording backend, a recording menu that displays content of storage modules, several frontends that can connect to one recording backend or several storage modules, and all can connect to different sources. With defined and pluggable structures between them, its easy to have them either locally connected or linked over network. Whether that's done by a plugin or VDR internally doesn't matter. In any case this would be the biggest rewrite of major parts of VDR ever, with lots of breakage, total loss of plugin compatibility and very long development cycle.
