[mythtv-users] Is it still required that a master backend have at least one tuner ?

As per title.

With the failure of the last of my frontends, now seems a good time to try upgrading - but the new backend will have to be a virtual machine, at least until it goes live as I don't have spare hardware and a spare aerial feed in a suitable location.
I'm toying with the idea of setting up a slave backend on a rPi with DVB tuner - as that'll be small enough, and "disposable" enough, to put in the attic where I do have spare aerial feeds off the amp. Eventually I'll be able to re-use the HVR1350 tuners I have in the current backend.
