What does myth do if you run a tunerless master backend?  I was thinking
of doing that myself,
since it is annoying that if I ever turn off my master backend, all the
slaves just give up and don't
automatically reconnect when it restarts, and you can't really put it to
sleep.

Tunerless slave backends work fine, I use them for transcode jobs etc.
