    Given the requirement that content be streamed through a backend
rather accessed through a lower level protocol, that requirement seems
a bit out of date. If a machine has all of the disks but doesn't have 
any tuners, then running a tunerless backend on that box should not be
problem. Just a basic operational requirement.
