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.
