I mostly run the frontend in a window on my monitor, DISPLAY=:0.0
This puts it onto the TV. Fedora, 0.26-fixes, but it may still be usable.
#!/bin/bash
# Run MythTV front end on display 1
# For Panasonic TX-L32E5B HDMI1 via DVI-I adapter
# This is for use if Overscan is OFF
#
# It seems that that requires _both_
# that the TV overscan is OFF
# and that the TV aspect ratio is set to [16:9]
# If aspect ratio is AUTO it seems that Overscan is ON
#
#
export DISPLAY=:0.1
mythfrontend --geometry 1920x1080+0+0
