Confirmed that I was able to connect to the mysql database on the MBE
from the SBE system.

Had already made sure of that.

In the mythtvsetup on the SBE I specify the MBE IP address.

Maybe what is confusing me is how to get the capture cards on the SBE
configured on the MBE.

I run mythtvsetup on the SBE and can see the cards there.

But when I try to assign the video sources on the SBE (in mythtvsetup)
there is no choice for my cable listing.  I confirmed that the SBE
backend connects to the MBE.

If I run mythtvsetup on the MBE and try to configure a new capture card
it looks like it lists the same cards.  Maybe this is what I am getting
confused.  On both systems there are /dev/video0 and /dev/video1.  But
in the mythtvsetup there is nothing that I see that indicates that any
of these would be on the SBE.

Does that make sense?
