Thanks! You have got a point! I did the following test - setting up a
Windows media player on a xp-system and some dlna on top. Its services are
recognized immediately after power cycling the TV-set! 

Guess I'll have to power up Wireshark and record in detail why the behaviors
differ!

Oh dear - barking up two wrong trees during just one evening! ...

Thanks again!!
