[mythtv-users] Attempting to 'Watch TV' on Primary Server using Slave Backend's PVR-350

[Doug Conyers]

Does anyone have a slave/master backend combination running 0.19 yet that is
allow 'Watch TV' to utilize a non-local tuner?  I'm trying to determine if
this is an issue with my specific configuration/installation or if this is
an issue with the 0.19 codebase.

thanks, doug.
