Yes. In short, the BE manages tuner/recording devices and maintains the MySQL database. The FE displays recordings made on the BE, or plays whatever media through the MythTV Plugins -- MythVideo, MythMusic, etc. The FE and BE have to talk to each other for any of the TV functions to work. Without a BE, there is no way for MythTV to record anything or to maintain a db. There is no way to 'pass through' a TV signal -- it has to be encoded and written to disk, then decoded and displayed. _______________________________________________ mythtv-users mailing list [email protected] http://mythtv.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users
