Yes, you will have to install mythbackend. You will only need the one mysql
instance. You will probably have to fiddle with DB user priviledges to get
the remote backend accessing the DB.
When you run mythtv-setup on the newly installed backend, there is an option
for defining as a master. Keep it unchecked, and configure everything else
appropriately.

to read it and grok it before you go off half-cocked.
