My PVR-350 is coming. Are you able to run the Myth frontend on the PVR-350? I see
various notes about putting DVD output and such on the 350 but what about the cosole

When MythTV talks about the 'back end' is that simply the MySQL database or is there
some other software involved?

Why two? I was planning on just one PVR-350 to begin with and maybe adding a second
later. Do you know anything about the version with two tuners? I think it's the 550.
