I had similar problems with changing my system. I did a fresh install on the 
better system as a combined frontend/backend, and then setup the old master 
as a slave.

I had a problem with the two tuners in the backend as always being not 
available!! I did everything rebooting, removing & re-installing cards and 
finally re-read through the various instructions.  Yes I looked at mysql.txt 
and checked that the master ip address was the same on both machines, it was!  

Then I did a search for mysql.txt and found another  copy in /root/.mythtv as 
well as that in home/mythtv/.mythtv   I had not anticipated that there were 
two copies on the slave machine. Needless to say the copy I found had the old 
ip address and not the new master ip.  A quick edit, reboot and all tuners 
are working well again.
