Hello again,

After I installed OpenElec on the Zotac box, I've added some 
repositories and I've installed many addons etc. and these are working 
fine, no problems at all.

After a while I remembered that I have that USB tuner (Hauppauge 
WinTV-HVR-950Q) and I thought that would be nice to use it in XBMC to 
receive the over-the-air TV channels that are available in my area.

Then, I have installed (_through XBMC_) MythTV and MythTV cmyth PVR 
Client the same way as any other addon. Both are on the same machine, on 
Zotac. I have configured first MythTV cmyth PVR Client (this is the 
backend, I guess) and then I configured MythTV (frontend). I'm using the 
same IP address on both, backend and frontend, the same database, the 
same username and password. When I'm testing the settings I'm getting 
that "Connect to MySQL failed: 2003: Can't connect to MySQL server" 
message.

I didn't install anything else, not MySQL or any other extra file(s).

I don't know what else should I do. I hope I was a little bit more clear 
this time.

Thank you in advance again for helping me out and I apologize if I'm 
wasting your time.
