Thanks for all the help over the last few days with trying to get a slave
backend going.

I've solved the issue by scrapping the whole idea, I've put the dodgy
capture card into the (new) master backend and keep my fingers crossed
that it holds together until I get a better solution to talking to the
STB.

One of the really frustrating things was running mythtv-setup on one
backend and it changed all the settings on both of them. My expectation
was the setup should all happen on the master with only the capture card
setup happening on the slave (which needs access to the physical device).

Never mind...

Just one more issue to sort out now :)
