This means you have to run mythtv-setup on the machine that has the card
to set up capture cards.

Why is this confusing?

I too expected to see all the available capture cards in mythtv-setup no
matter which host I ran it on. Now that I understand more about how it
works (that is, some things are stored in the central database and some
are stored locally), it's not so confusing any more. But when I was
first trying to set up an SBE that had previously been a tuner-less
front-end-only system, it was confusing.
Nothing is stored locally about the cards. The program is showing you only cards that are physically present in the machine that you are configuring. The information about the cards is written to the shared database.
