The 'normal' setup is to run both mythfrontend and mythbackend on the
same machine.  To view your programs on a separate computer, all you
have to do is install mythtv on it, but run only mythfrontend and
configure it to connect to a remote mythbackend.  (You actually don't
even need to install mythbackend on the viewing-only system, but your
distro may bundle them into a single package so that you get both
even if you don't need them.)
