Ok. I ran mythtvsetup on the remote machine and changed the ip address in
there. Once I did that when I start mythfrontend at a command prompt
everything looks normal. Then when I select Watch TV in mythfrontend the
screen simply flashes for a a second, then in the terminal window it says:

GetEntryAt (-1) Failed
EntryToProgram(0 at Wed Dec 31 19:00:00 1969) failed to get pginfo
TV Error LiveTV not started
TV Error LiveTV not started
TV Deleting TV Chain in destructor

Any ideas????
