[mythtv-users] FE/BE configuration suggestions

[Aaron Rich]

I currently have a single BE/FW machine with a ceton 4 tuner pci card
in it. I also have a HDHomerun prime on my network and have the 3
tuners assigned to the BE. Connection between them is wireless 5Ghz N.

I'm looking at adding a new FE in my bedroom. I want this FE to be able to:
1) Watch live TV
2) Play recorded shows from primary BE

The new FE will be connected over a wireless 5gh N connection.

My question, am I better off assigning a HDPrime tuner to the new FE
and having in be a BE slaved to the primary? Or should it just be a
FE?

I don't know how the data flow over the network goes.

Also, if anyone has any suggestions for a small, low profile, low
power frontend that can do the live TV? I have a Roku box that I'm
going to be replacing since it can't do the live TV. I don't know if
an Apple TV is able to do live TV or not.

Thanks for the advise and suggestions.
