For example, if you are watching TV in the kitchen and someone else is in the bedroom, wanting to watch TV you need two.  If there are three frontends, but only two people in the house, you only need two tuners.  It's hard to explain clearly, but you need one tuner for every task you'd like to accomplish simultaneously, wether that's recording or watching live-tv.  It's considered the same thing.

It seems to be much complicated for me about the relationship between xmltv-mythtv-tuner triangle. Any short description would be great. Also I wonder if someone has success on custom channel and program guide in mythtv.

Why can't it be set up so that if one person is watching one stream, 
other people can watch that one too?
