Ok, I stopped all backends and then ran mythtv-setup on the remote
backend. I then made sure it had the master backend's ip address in as

Then I stopped all backends and frontends and tried starting all again
one more time to see if it would recorded scheduled jobs. It didn't
make a difference and it still didn't see the new tuner. Any ideas? I'm
not sure about these error messages. Thanks for the help<br>
