[mythtv-users] Multiple recorders problem, failed to get pginfo?

Here's the setup I've got. I have a master and a slave backend with the
master containing a DVB card (Nexus) and the slave containing 2 pvr-250's.
I'm running SVN 8925 on both machines and also running VDR on the master.

I wanted to test if the recorders were working on the slave so I fired up
VDR on the master then fired up the backend on the master here's the log
from that,

the messages posted are what I would expect a busy DVB device, which is fine
I want to use the PVR 250's. I'm confused by the channel issue though since
the PVR's don't use the same sourceID?

This is from the slave,
