[ubuntu-mythtv] Problems Finding Backend after Move???

[Lawrence Houston]

Karl:

The "Issue" was NOT knowing that both the Master Backend Address and the 
Local Backend Address had to be External IP Addresses for the UPnP Server 
to be "Activated"!!!  I had only changed the Master Backend's IP Address, 
which meant I could see what TV Shows had been recorded but could NOT 
actually fetch them from any machine other than the Master Backend!!!

I had chosen the Hauppauge HVR-1600 since it does Hardware Encoding for 
Analogue Signals, such that it should be workable on a "Lesser" machine... 
After changing both IP Address I was able to Record a "Test" TV Show this 
Evening and Mythbuntu seemed to worked fine on this "Old" ASUS CUSL2 
Clone, well during my first test anyway...

Will see what I can do about making a copy of MythTV's Recordings 
Directory, since now I am having problems expanding my MythTV Partition to 
use the Entire 160 GB Disk anyway???

                                                  Larry .....
