Really depends on want you want the frontend to do, is it more than just 
watching Live TV, recordings videos, listening to music ?

Raspberry pi 2 works great using Kodi  as the front end to mythtv 
backend (0.27 and 0.28pre), with the pvr.mythtv addon to Kodi.

Pi 2 has builtin CEC over hdmi so you can just use the TV remote to 
control Kodi, assuming your TV has CEC.
