Thanks Peter.  This is interesting as I block port 6543 access from outside
my network - so that means the rouge client is inside somehow.  I'll have
to play around with some host firewall rules and VLAN firewall rules to
better determine the source.

Would enabling more detailed mythtv log help show a source for the socket
connection?
