[mythtv-users] Question on Backend and frontend functionality

Ok, so the frontend has control and the backend
manages the database, but, from an hardware point of view?
Which are the pieces that are _necessary_ to the frontend,
the pieces that are _necessary_ to the backend, and the
pieces that could be in both?

I guess that the only cards necessary for the frontend
should be a soundcard, a videocard and a network connection,

that the backend could be non-graphic and just need
the network connection,

and that tuners/digitizers/etc. etc. could be both
in the frontend or the backend,

but I'n not so sure I've understood correctly,
so confirmations/clarifications would be appreciated..
