[mythtv-users] Can't see slave card in master

[Berry, David]

Should I be able to see the third card from the frontend?

Checking the card status in the Information Center, I only see the two
'local' cards - I was expecting to see the status of the slave card as
well.

Some searching also turned up that it should add an entry to the Master
SQL DB in the cardInput table.  This hasn't happened either - which
makes me think it may not be working correctly.

I was watching LiveTV from the slave box - just to test that the card
was functioning correctly.

Thanks

You don't have to add the card in the slave backend to the setup program
on the master backend.  If you can Watch LiveTV and know it's using
the new card, then everything is working correctly, recordings will
use it if you have 3 things recording at the same time.  You only add
the card in the setup program on the backend the card is physically in.
