Crap.... 

I asked about that a week or two ago, and I can't remember seeing any
responses. 

As this box is a my router,fileserver, network controller e.t.c.. I
can't change the hostname or IP as it will screw everything. 

Damn

However, it does seeem okay ... apart rom live tv .. 

here is the console output from mythfrontend... when trying to start
livetv .. something about program 0???
