[mythtv-users] MythTV frontend without TV tuner or MySQL backend

[Stuart Larson]

You would only run mythfrontend, and point it to your backend's IP (you
may need to reconfigure your backend to listen on something other than
it's loopback (127.0.0.1) through mythtv-setup, first).  You can also do
commflag/transcode jobs if you wish, just run mythjobqueue in the
background.
