At one point I was running my 'production' environment on 0.21 and was
testing trunk (what was to become 0.22) on another machine.  So on my trunk
box, I dropped my DB to completely start from scratch.  And when I fired up
mythtv-setup, I was prompted me for 'permission' to update the database.
 Well, I didn't really 'read' the message, but just 'assumed' it was
complaining that it had to create the DB from scratch, and blindly pressed
'enter'. When the update was taking a while, I looked at the logs and in
horror saw the IP address of my 'production' backend!!!

So I can see the benefit of turning off the UPnP server...  Granted, if I
had taken the time to actually READ the upgrade message box carefully before
allowing it to proceed, I wouldn't have had the issue, but it's cheap
'insurance'...
