You need to run mythtv-setup on your backend, go into the first option 
and check the ip address settings. Make sure your server IP and master 
backend IP are an externally visible IP address, i.e. not 127.0.0.1.

Make mysql accessible from other machines. Find your mysqld.cnf file. It 
will be somewhere in /etc, in my case it is in 
/etc/mysql/mysql.conf.d/mysqld.cnf. Find the line that says
bind-address = 127.0.0.1
and comment it out. Restart mysql.

On your new remote frontend, in the home directory from which you will 
run the mythfrontend, create a $HOME/.mythtv directory. Copy into that 
directory the config.xml file from your backend. Edit that file and make 
sure that the database server ip address is set to the mysql server 
address,  not 127.0.0.1.
