[mythtv-users] Re: Can a master backend have no inputs?

[Jesse Perkins]

I have a master backend with 2 pvr250s in it and that machine also is
my only frontend.  But then I have a slave backend in the office with
no capture cards that flags commercials for me.  It keeps the master
backend/frontend from heating up, thus keeps the fan noise at a
minimum.
