<p>Hi Mike!</p>
<p>Assume this should have been posted to the list, though nice to
get a faster response!</p>

Had a thought re: the socket error. Is it due to having the
Ethernet cable to "Backend-3" unplugged? I did that because
in previous installation attempts I managed to screw up
Backend_1 -- its MythTV Webpage is indicating it got somehow
linked to Backend-3. So now I've been unplugging BE3 except
when necessary - I don't want to have the same issue to BE-2!

Um, looks like some confusion here. You should only have <b

sdhould be on </blockquote>
the master backend, whichever one you have chosen - I assume
that would be BE-1.

<br>
On <b class="moz-txt-star"><span class="moz-txt-tag">*</span>all<span
class="moz-txt-tag">*</span></b> other mythtv hosts you
should only require the mysql client software. Any installs on
other hosts would therefore reference the - already installed
and initialized - database *over the network* on BE-1.

<p>Not intending to argue and I do agree with what you are saying -
normally. I had two separate Backends, BE1 and BE2, both running
0.28. Separate passwords and the Frontends cannot see the other
Backend from what they are assigned. BE1 was to be retired
because of the aging motherboard but was not because of reception
issues (OTA antennae) ==> one might record a show fine while
the other would not. They were not intended as a Master/Slave
configuration as BE1 was supposed to be retired.</p>
<p>A while back semi-piggybacked to a post re: tuner sensitivity:
boiled down to would the use of the Hauppauge 1609 potentially
resolve pixelation issues while using the 1600 and 2500 tuners.
New tuner technology vs. old tuner technology. Here I had been
(re-)using the 1600 and 2500 cards, some since the original
MythDora system.<br>
</p>
<p>So BE3 was born, using only a 1609 tuner. As for BE-3
referencing BE-1, it apparently did and tried to take over.
trouble is, 0.28 and 30 don't play nice together.</p>
<p>So should I drop BE-3 to 0.28? Don't really care if the
latest-and-greatest version but I do have a bit of a concern for
running into end-of-life sooner than later. It seems to make
sense to create a new system with the most current software, thus
the reasoning for using 30.</p>
<p>And as with BE-1 and BE-2, the intent is to have an independent
system. Yes, half-intending to do a migration of the database
from BE-2 -- if works great is not just delete the previously seen
programmes.</p>
<p>...Not trying to come across as a smart-rump or know-it-all. I
do sincerely appreciate the assistance and guidance. By not
knowing I probably (and apparently obviously!) created some
problems.<br>
