When you click "This server is the master backend", it copies your 
machine name to the master server name. It gets that machine name from 
$HOME/.mythtv/config.xml, or if that says 
"my-unique-identifier-goes-here" it gets it from /etc/hostname. So if 
you need a different master server name, change it in one of those 
places, then select "This server is the master backend" again.
