Oh.  I thought I read somewhere that the slave backend should use the
same video source as the master:

http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-9.html

"... with the exception that you skip over the "Video Sources" step. All
possible video sources need to be defined on the master backend system;
only the master backend will query a listings provider to obtain guide
data for all the non-master backends."

I have a total of four cards (later to be six):

Backend#1, card #0, tuner 1&2 = Astra2
Backend#1, card #1, tuner 3&4 = Astra2
Backend#2, card #0, tuner 5&6 = Astra1
Backend#2, card #1, tuner 7&8 = Hotbird  (not yet configured).

I've taken care of the latter by using the module option "adapter_nr".
Besides, the "cross-wiring" is happening across the two backends, not
within one.
