Thanks!  That is what I've done, but the docs for MythTV say to skip 
configuring Video Sources:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html#ss9.3

However, a post to the list from jcaputo1_at_comcast.net says the opposite:

http://www.gossamer-threads.com/perl/mailarc/gforum.cgi?post=77039;search_string=capture%20card%20slave;guest=2339436&t=search_engine#77039

Should I configure Video Sources on the Slave Backend or will this mess 
up the Master Backend?

Thanks,
