No.  In fact only one frontend can watch
live tv at a time with a single tuner.
 

Completely true for 0.18, but AIUI, with the changes to LiveTV, 0.19 
will allow as many frontends as you have resources to support to watch 
the same LiveTV channel even with only one tuner card (because LiveTV is 
just another recording).

They get told all tuners are busy, and they can
watch something previously recorded.

Note: Tuners are cheap, 69 bucks if you shop
around.

[mythtv-users] Watch different live TV channels on each frontend

2006-01-02 Thread R
Hi,

Just a few hours ago I learned about MythTV.
So please excuse my igonorance.

With 1 backend and its 1 TV Tuner card
and multiple frontends - Can each frontend
watch a different live TV channel?

What happens when another frontend tries
to watch live TV and change the channel?

Thank you.
