You still need a master backend somewhere on the network.  This is just 
for the "extra" computers that do things for MythTV but don't have 
tuners.  They needn't be remote backends (and all the tons of extra 
resources running one requires - 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/365270#365270 ), 
especially since running a backend without tuners breaks some parts of 
MythTV.
