[mythtv-users] Setting up slave backend system

First I need to thank Jarod yet again. The section of his guide on
upgrading worked just fine on my master backend/frontend system. It was
as simple as running:
yum install mythtv-suite
and the system was upgraded from .17 to .18.1
I have a slave backend/front end system that I put together last week.
I held off the final configuration of it until I could get my master
backend system running the same version of mythtv (.18.1).
For my setup I have nfs mounted the /video/recordings directory from the
master backend system on the slave backend as well as the
/video/pictures directory.
When I run mythfrontend I am able to watch live TV and play back
existing recordings that reside on the master backend system. This
makes me believe that the two are communicating as expected.
However, I am unable to get tv listings displayed and it appears that
when playing live tv I am actually using one of the encoders from the
master backend.
This is reasonable as I only have the two encoders on the master backend
defined.
What I have not been able to figure out is how to setup the encoders on
the slave backend so they are available for use. Reading the guide it
appears that I should skip step 3 of the mythtvsetup and I should not
run the mythfilldatabase on the slave.
Can someone point me to the section of documentation that I have skipped
or missed detailing how to get this configured?
Thanks!
