I now see that your HVR1600 is on the backend, and the HVR2250 is on the
frontend.  For the HVR2250 to work, I think you either need to move it
to your current backend, or else configure a slave backend.

https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Setup_General#Slave_Backends

The wiki mentions that setting up a slave (remote) backend is an
advanced topic.  I personally do not have experience with these.  The
simplest option, if possible, would be to move the HVR2250 to your
current "master" backend.
