How does the frontend find the backend? Over the information in the
database? Or does it try localhost when upnp is not found?

Yes, two channels for testing.

I've tried tv_grab_nl_py what I found here:
http://wiki.mythtv.nl/index.php/Grabbers
I took very long and gave errors. I think it did not connect to the
backend, but it did connect to the database.

Which grabber are you using?

I've used "--manual", but the script did not ask me anything.

Does the backend not work without the information from the grabber?

With regards,
