[mythtv-users] Multiple Backends

[Jon Bishop]

you need to make sure they both have static IP's (or at least the  
master backend)
Then, on the slave(s), you simply need to run mythtv-setup, and in  
the spot where it has the master backend ip, put the ip of your  
master in. It'll connect to the master and get the program info and  
scheduling and such from there. You may also want to share the folder  
you save your shows on as a NFS share, and mount it on the slave, so  
that they both record to the same place, but that is optional.  
There's a lot of tweaks and settings you can adjust, but the main  
thing is to specify the IP of the master backend on both setups.
