Sometimes it's not that simple. I run a master backend with three DVB-T cards, 
and a slave backend with a PVR-250 [1]. Having made some changes to the master 
backend, I got the message "Card 4 (type...) is set to start on channel 6, which 
does not exist".

Unfortunately, when you run mythtv-setup on any backend, it only shows you the 
tuners on that backend. So you *have* to take the 'no' option. It's only 
possible to fix this on the backend in question - assuming you can figure out 
which one that is from the message.

[1] Had some interesting driver conflicts when I had both tuner types in the 
same box. Separating them solved that. It was a good idea for several other 
reasons, of course.
