Do me a favor and shut down mythfrontend, then go to 
$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml and /all/ of the mysql.txt files (use locate or 
find to find them) on your system and edit them to override the 
LocalHostName.

So, for mysql.txt, something like:

LocalHostName=testhostnametoresetdefaults
DBHostName=localhost
DBUserName=mythtv
DBPassword=mythtv
DBName=mythconverg
DBType=QMYSQL3

and for config.xml add:

        <LocalHostName>testhostnametoresetdefaults</LocalHostName>

to the <DefaultBackend> section of the file (with <DBHostName>, 
<DBUserName>, etc.).

Then restart mythfrontend and, if all works, please let me know--as it 
means you have the wrong settings.  Then, I'll take the time to point 
out every single setting you need to change to make it work.

This is /exactly/ why we need to simplify settings (as there are about 
5-10 settings involved).
