You don't. The MBE automagically finds available cards on slave
backend(s), if/when the SBE mythbackend is running.

Like the docs say, don't set up a new videosource (guide data) on the
slave(s).

Maybe this will help, from my master backend database (which BTW, is
the only* database):

(Note: your card #'s may vary (more sequential?))

Two capture cards, different hosts, same sourceid (videosource).
