     On a related note, it is possible to move shows between backends by
simply copying the appropriate records between the "recorded" tables
(and by moving the .nuv files, of course)?  I imagine that there might
also have to be some minor editing, to say where the files are located
(slave vs master), but that shouldn't be a problem.  However, I'm
worried that this might bork the master's db, as I don't know if there
are other tables that also need to be kept consistent/in sync.

     I have a slave backend that used to be a master.  This slave has a
number of recordings that I'd like to keep (as mythtv-viewable shows,
not viewable via the video player).  However, all of the show data is in
the old (now unused) mythtv database that is on the slave.  The (new)
master, having no knowledge of those shows, does not know about them,
and does not make them viewable.

     Is this possible?
