So just to be clear.  You've moved a back-end myth box into the attic, 
which also acts as a front-end.  You then decided to add the PC in the 
basement (named bigblue) as a front-end to the back-end in the attic, 
sound right so far?  What version of MythTV are you using?  Subversion?  
0.20?

I assume you saw this (http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/EIT), but I 
assume it's what you're talking about.  I'm afraid I don't know much in 
the EIT area...

What happened when you ran mythfilldatabase?  Did it complain?  What 
happens when you try to record something?  Does the schedule know about 
the recording but nothing happens at 10:00pm when CSI: Miami comes on?  
If you start myth-frontend from the command line, what does the output 
in the console say?

Cheers,
Dustin
