You just need myth frontend since you'll only be watching programs on  
that box - and enough bandwidth between your frontend and backend to  
handle the video streams. I believe if you're using ATrpms you just  
need to install mythtv-frontend, however I've never done just that  
package since I run a combo frontend/backend and my other frontend- 
only machines are Mac OS X boxes.
