The only methods I have come up with so far for a virtual backend are to<br>
use a network tuner (ie HDHomerun) or use mumudvb on the host machine<br>
and multicast/unicast content back to the virtual host and use a network<br>
tuner in Myth.</blockquote><div><br>A search of the main mailing list reveals that people have got PCI tuners to work in VMs using Xen. E.g. <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/303253?search_string=xen;#303253">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/303253?search_string=xen;#303253</a>.<br>

I don't think there is any way to do a virtual frontend as the virtual<br>
drivers can't access the advanced graphics functions of the host.<br></blockquote><div><br>If your host is sufficiently powerful CPU-wise you shouldn't need any advanced graphics functions. Again, the main mailing list has reports of success: <a href="http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/38783?search_string=vm%20frontend;#38783">http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/38783?search_string=vm%20frontend;#38783</a>.<br>
