[mythtv-users] Frontend Only Capture Card

[Tom Bailey]

Is that all there is to it? - Ive tried that, but I must be missing
something -

I have frontend and slave backend on the smaller profile machine with the
350 capture card.  I setup the db on the master backend box, and point to
the backend box as the 'master' in the setup. However, if i try to watch tv
i always get the "MythTV is already using all available inputs..." message.

So far, I can only seem to get it to work if everything is running on the
front end box.
Thoughts?

Thx-
