[mythtv-users] Second Backend disabling primary backend tuners

I was thinking the same thing. I vaguely recall making the same
mistake and having some similar sort of problems. In each backend you
have 2 configuration IP's...one for the local backend and one for the
master backend. When you are configuring the master backend, you can't
just tell it to use 127.0.0.1 or localhost for the local backend. You
have to explicitly tell it its own IP address. If you don't do this,
then you get problems with things not showing up in the frontend like
they should. I suspect what happens is something like:
1) The slave connects to the master correctly
2) The master gives it a url to connect to to retrieve stuff
3) The slave connect to the url to retrieve the data. However, because
the master was configured wrong, the url was wrong and the slave ends
up connecting to itself to retrieve the data (which, of course,
doesn't exist).
