Try running another UPnP server like Twonky, Vuze, etc. on either the Linux
or a Windows box, etc. on your network just to confirm your TV sees it.  My
LG TV does not see my MythTV but does see Vuze while the Xbox sitting next
to it sees both.  It could be the TV or something in how the TV requests or
Myth responds.
