[mythtv-users] Master backend REQUIRES one tuner? Adding more?

[Jim Minihane]

In the docs is says that the one "hard-and-fast rule" is that the master
have at least one tuner. If this isn't true then things will work out as I
had originally planned. I'd like to avoid having the recording going on on
the powerful machine that will be doing the MySQL, commercial tagging, etc.
