The frontend is the pretty gui process that allows you to watch the stuff you recorded. In my case I have an HTPC in my living room that runs the backend and a frontend, I'm currently watching TV on a remote frontend in my bedroom. The beauty of this is that as long as you can retrieve data from the hard drive of the backend you can stream it to a frontend. This is truely a distributed system especially when you start getting into having slave backends but that's a story for another day.
