<p class=MsoNormal><font size=2 face=Arial><span style='font-size:10.0pt;
font-family:Arial'>Reading through the docs it says that the master backend HAS
TO have at least one capture/tuner device. It suggests the “round robin”
approach. Can I, as they suggest, have 2 slave backends with a total of 5 tuners,
(DirecTV) and a 6<sup>th</sup> on the master. If I configure the tuners on the
slaves first, and the master last, then it will rarely, if ever, get used. Cool.
If I add 2 more tuners for a total of 7 on the slaves, can I delete the one on
the master, add the 2 additional on the slaves, then re-add the one (now 8th)
on the master. Making the 8<sup>th</sup> tuner hardly ever used.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
