100% sure, in the many years that I've enjoyed mythtv, I've never run 
more than one backend at a time.
In my current backend I physically change the cables from one hard drive 
(0.27) to the other (0.28).

I don't have any working Mythtv frontends.
Kodi (several), win 7 media player (several) , Asus O!Play, bunch of 
Androids, .......

I may dig into my pile of recently retired Thinkpads and do a fresh 
frontend install using 14.04 ( ! 16.04 ) and see what that does.
There are some reports about a bug when 16.04 is used with Nvidia and my 
TPs have Nvidia graphic chips.
