....and that fixed it. In the backend status I now see:

Encoder status

   Encoder 1 is local on mythtv and is not recording.
   Encoder 2 is local on mythtv and is not recording.
   Encoder 3 is remote on computerroom and is not recording.
   Encoder 4 is remote on computerroom and is not recording.

Beauty! Thanks for the tips, I should have noticed that one. I do recall 
putting the IP in on the other box though....
