I've just got a RPI v2 which I'll be using for XBMC/OpenElec and I want to re-purpose my RPi B as a TVheadend backend only.
I presume there's no benefit in running a stripped down install just for TVH and should just install OE as normal on the RPi B and configure TVH from there? Ultimately I'm not going to have a remote control on the B though, so I need to be able to configure it remotely from my PC using Putty, etc.
I know the USB dual-tuner I've got works with the RPi as I tried it a long time ago but gave up due to some problems I ran into, although I don't recall the details.
So is there a guide to setting up the tuner and TVH backend on the RPi somewhere that I can follow? I think the front-end setup will be relatively easy after that.
EDIT: Just wanted to add that if using two RPis for this is pointless and it would be better to run everything on the one v2, please say so!
