</div>I couldn't tell from your explanation - when configuring the slave did<br>
you create a new video source on the slave backend based on your<br>
Schedules Direct account (wrong) or did you attach the existing SD<br>
video source to your newly added video card inputs on the Input<br>
Connections page (right)?<br>
<br>
You also need to ensure that your Master Backend has a non-localhost<br>
IP (i.e. not 127.0.0.1) - do you see an entry in the master backend's<br>
logfile when you the slave backend connects?<br>
<br>
Note that I don't use MythBuntu so have no idea how much of the<br>
configuring the control centre component does.<br>
