What aspect of mythtv are you specifically refering to? To get the tv
listings they connect over the web but the actual TV content is
captured from your cable/satellite/OTA whatever signal via a tv
capture card.

Then you can also run a frontend and a backend where the backend has
the tv capture cards and the frontend grabs that over ethernet.
