That field only needs to be populated if you are running a local
backend, and when I say "local", I mean one running the same machine
profile as is in use by the mythtv-setup instance. The machine profile
currently defaults to the machine's hostname, however that can be
overridden with the LocalHostName value, found in ~/.mythtv/mysql.txt in
0.25 or previous, or ~/.mythtv/config.xml for 0.26 and later.
