</div>Just get another hardware for building a frontend. Depending on your needs (i<br>
guess no hdtv) an old epia should be enough.<br>

</div>Wireless is fine. I sometimes use my laptop to watch soccer while having a<br>
barbecue. There are no issues if you have a good wireless connection :-)<br>

</blockquote></div><br>Do you mean build another computer for another frontend? ie., Create a new backend, or just a new box that is connected to the already existing backend so the TV can be plugged into this new one conveniently?<br>
