[mythtv-users] Need some setup help second frontend will not play

I had this problem.  I use a wireless router as my dhcp server, which 
does not specify hostname.  So, FC4 defaulted to 
"localhost.localdomain".  This is the key used to find the setup in the 
database.  My problem was my backend and frontend used the same fake 
hostname, thus the same setup.  If you hardcode your hostname (I think 
it's in /etc/sysconfig/network), this might help the problem.  It worked 
for me :)
