</div></div>Yep. There are guides for how to properly change the hostname.<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.15" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.15</a> and<br>

<br>
Both will fail, now, though, since you have the old /and/ the new<br>
hostname in the DB.<br>
<br>
My recommendation is a "spring cleaning"<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-23.html#ss23.7</a> , though, you<br>
should probably use:<br>

<br>
I.e.:<br>
<a href="http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Database_Backup_and_Restore" target="_blank">http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Database_Backup_and_Restore</a> (all info)<br>

<br>
Note that you'll have to reconfigure everything (mythtv-setup, then<br>
mythfrontend settings) afterwards, but if you don't, your system will<br>
remain broken (even if you get it to look like it's working).<br>
