[mythtv-users] MythTV frontend without TV tuner or MySQL backend

[Rob Beard]

Hi folks,

This might be a stupid question but I thought I'd ask anyway...

I've just recently acquired a new LCD HDTV.  My eventual plan is to 
build a MythTV box which I can put a couple of tuner cards in to record 
my favourite TV programmes etc.

However at the moment that really isn't an option (funds and wife-to-be 
don't allow).

My desktop PC however has got a dual core CPU and a whole load of memory 
which I'm sure isn't being used to it's full potential at the moment.

Rather than use my desktop PC as a complete MythTV box, I was wondering 
if it was possible to just install the front end for playing my existing 
video files, DVDs, music files and emulators with the second DVI output 
going to the LCD TV.

Does this sound feasible or would I have to also install the complete 
MythTV backend too?

Ta,

Rob
