I, too, am curious. I've known about the non-supported nature of
tunerless slave backends for almost the entire two+ years I've run
MythTV, but for much of that time I've run with a tunerless slave
backend,[1] blithely ignoring the severe danger I'm putting to my home
network, the world economy, the universal level of entropy,
etc. Clearly, I live on the edge.

Said slave backend has tuners now, but not because I ever had any
stability issues whatsoever with not having any.
