[mythtv-users] multiple frontends single backend

[Chris Pinkham]

You don't need the backend running on machines that you just want to
display video on.  You only need the backend to record video on a server.

Just setup /usr/local/share/mythtv/mysql.txt and then run mythfrontend
and go into setup and configure things how you want them for the new
frontend.
