Quoting the docs: "The only hard-and-fast rule is that the Master backend must have a capture device defined, but shouldn't imply that the capture device in the Master backend must be the first capture card defined in the database." Taken from here: http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-22.html#ss22.13 My suggestion is to pick up a very cheap bt-based card and put in your gateway/firewall box, and never use it (unless you have a conflict).
