I'm not aware of any issues that prevent running multiple separate
MythTV clusters in the same network. You just need to watch out for
mixing both setups. e.g. change the hostname of one of both instances
and remember to keep references from the frontend to the correct
backend.

But I would strongly advise to update to something newer than 0.25.
Either fixes/0.26 or the upcoming 0.27 which is going to be out "soon".
The MythbuntuControlCentre allows you to update to what is still the
development version and will stay on 0.27 instead of master after the
release.
