That's not the point. If you run a frontend on the machine which has your 
backend, you can *guarantee* that the software is compatible. Running a frontend 
on another machine may mean apparently trivial differences which can throw your 
testing out.

I notice in your original post that you said the backend was 0.26 and the 
frontend was 0.25. This is *not* likely to work properly. The protocol mythtv 
uses changes between releases; only within releases (eg 0.26.1, 0.26-fixes etc) 
is it guaranteed to work.

Your frontend software is too old. You *must* match the release of the backend 
you wish to run it against, one way or the other.

Finally, please reply at the bottom of previous posts. That way, somebody in the 
future can figure out what the conversation was about. The list operators prefer 
that this list operates in this fashion.
