I'm not sure, but I *think* that this was my problem. I could have sword that did this at point, but it would appear that the order in which things are done is critical. So for the benefit of anyone else in the same position, here is what you have to do to rebuild the database when you have a slave backend involved: 1) Clear the database (or do whatever it is you have to do to it) 2) Run mythtv-setup on the master backend, and set up your capture card(s) and video source(s). 3) Run mythtv-setup on the slave. Do not declare any video sources. All you do is set up the capture cards and associate a video source with them. 4) Restart mythbackend on the master 5) Restart mythbackend on the slave. This is what finally worked for me. After two days of screwing around, I finally have my system back to full functionality. The original problem was that the guide had no data left in it, and mythfilldatabase appeared to be refreshing it but was not. Almost surely caused by some sort of database corruption, but I never did figure out what caused that to begin with. --Greg
