I have just setup my first Mythtv box with frontend and backend on the same PC. I'm planning a separate backend configuration and I was wondering if I need a capture card in my frontend to watch live tv if I have a backend setup with multiple PVR cards? If not, how does LIRC work to change channels when surfing? Is it something like:

Remote>LIRC-frontend>Mythtv-frontend>Mythtv-backend>LIRC-backend>cablebox#1

Capture cards live where the mythbackend process runs. One capture card is needed for each frontend watching LiveTV and for each in progress recording. As far as how LIRC works, LIRC works with the mythfrontend process to receive input from your remote control. That is communicated to the backend process which handles channel changes appropriate for the tuner being used.
