I couldn't tell from your explanation - when configuring the slave did
you create a new video source on the slave backend based on your
Schedules Direct account (wrong) or did you attach the existing SD
video source to your newly added video card inputs on the Input
Connections page (right)?

You also need to ensure that your Master Backend has a non-localhost
IP (i.e. not 127.0.0.1) - do you see an entry in the master backend's
logfile when you the slave backend connects?

Note that I don't use MythBuntu so have no idea how much of the
configuring the control centre component does.
