IP address is good, unless you plan to only ever run a combined
frontend/backend, when it won't matter.
However, if you are using IP addresses, you will have to make sure that you get
the permissions on the Mysql database correct so that it is accessible by the
right user/IP address combination(s). There are threads on this list and info in
the wiki to help you do that.
I noticed in passing in your original post the following:

Should that first line really say DataDirect? You should be using
SchedulesDirect. However, as I am not a North American user, I know nothing
about the way that system works or what messages you may see output. Doubtless
another reader will advise.
The 'temp table' is not a problem (well, shouldn't be), that's just where the
update mechanism stashes the downloaded data while it matches against what you
already have.
The data you already have is in the main Mythtv database. It can be accessed via
Manage->Schedule Recordings->Programme Guide (In my system. The menu titles may
vary according to which scheme you are using). Or if you have managed to get
Mythweb running (a whole nother story), it's the Listings tab.
