If you use the capacity built into mythtv, it's either all backends 
online, or none of them.  You can, of course, turn frontends on and off 
at will.

Why would you want to do that?

There isn't really any such thing as 'livetv' in mythtv.  Livetv is just 
a recording that is flagged as a temporary file, and auto-expired after 
a few days.  As such, the tuner used is the first one that shows up in 
the list.  You cannot dedicate, or otherwise prioritize one tuner for 
livetv, nor can you prioritize one tuner for one frontend.
