Why do you have a tuner card in a machine not running a backend?
You can run mythbackend and mythfrontend on the same machine. However,
you must have tuners in the backend, IR receivers in the frontend. If
you are not running a frontend on the machine with the 1600, you cannot
use the IR receiver for anything useful.
