That's my plan. :)

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 
output?

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.
