My situation is that I have a couple of rooms where there are terrestrial TV aerial cables and TVs. I have gigabit ethernet throughout the building (reaching all rooms).
So can I use a Raspberry Pi Kodi front end or some other device to connect to the TV aerial , over ethernet, to a backend server (probably TVheadend or MythTV) that is not in the same room as the terrestrial TV aerial cable? So I am essentially achieving the following.
However, from what I could find, although the Raspberry Pi is a suitable front end in most cases and could probably serve as a backend for TVheadend it would struggle with MythTV. A Pi 3 might manage MythTV.
So my question is can a Raspberry Pi or some other suitable device, act more as a conduit or thin client, so that although the physical aerial connection is made there, the actual processing is managed by the backend server?
Thanks for any help you can give.

- Have a backend server, away from the TV viewing room(s).
- Not having to extend aerial cabling to reach the backend server.
