I think I figured out the remote system problem. I wasn't aware that you don't need to run a database on the remote system. Once I turned that off, and re set everything up between the master and slave boxes, the delete problem, and the inability to jump forward and back cleared up.
Now, I have a different problem, though. The tuner on the slave backend shows as 'not available' in system status.
Any ideas there? both master and slave backends are running. nothing is recording, it's just 'not available'

My system is also having the same problem. It seems to loose the
connection with the backend when I try to delete a recording. The
frontend will eventualy time out but I have to restart the backend.
Here is some more information about my system that might help some
one track this problem down.
Running on FC4 (2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp) on a P4 3Gig with 1 Gig of
RAM.
Myth 18.1 from atrpms about 2 weeks ago.
Two capture devices. A PVR-150 and a firewire connection to a
DCT-6200 cable box.
The system is setup right off of Jarod's How-to from
http://www.wilsonet.com/mythtv/fcmyth.php
I'm using JFS for the filesystem that stores the recordings.
Here are the ivtv packages that I am using:
ivtv.i386 1:0.4.0-98.rhfc4.at
installed
ivtv-firmware-audio.i386 0.0.1-1.at
installed
ivtv-firmware-dec.i386 2.02.023-4.at
installed
ivtv-firmware-enc.i386 2.04.024-4.at
installed
ivtv-kmdl-2.6.14-1.1644_FC4smp.i686 1:0.4.0-98.rhfc4.at
installed
I hope this information helps. I just built up this new system. The
old system was working without a hitch for almost 2 years.
