Yes, a mythtv backend does the receiving, recording and the streaming. I have two of them, to have room for the receiver cards. The plan is now to add some more backends with the intention of migrating away from my two veryyyyy old boxes. The new backends only have one PCI slot each, hence the need for more than one.
I had hoped to use 15.5, but it refused to do an NFS install, so I reverted to 15.4 (hence this thread), and now I'm back to installing 15.3.
Just don't upgrade the backends, you will have problems with the video capture cards. The kernel is dropping support for several, I read about that recently. I read the posts, but did not understand them completely. I don't remember where I saw them, could be the packman mail list or Usenet. Or maybe factory.
Yes, I saw it on factory, but afaict, that change was averted when the author realised the hardware was still very much being used.
Leap 15.3 could work, as the kernel is basically the same. But don't touch the running machine, use a new one.
Like I said above "The plan is now to add some more backends" :-) Brandnew 15.3 just now rebooting on backend#1. -- Per Jessen, Zürich (4.8°C) Member, openSUSE Heroes (2016 - present) We're hiring - https://en.opensuse.org/openSUSE:Heroes
