Comment (by pbennett):

 The UPNP discovery is what allows a new frontend that has been setup
 without a .mythtv directory, to find and connect to the database and
 backend, and create the .mythtv directory.

 When 0.28 was new, it had a bug where the UPNP discovery was not working,
 so you would not have hit this problem, but you would have been forced to
 create config.xml for each frontend. It is possible that it was also not
 working when 0.27 was new.

 If you are running more than 1 master backend I think it is imperative to
 setup a pin on each backend so that new frontends or other programs do not
 connect to the wrong system if they have no config.xml.

 I will keep this ticket open and look to see if there is some improvement
 that can be made.
