In MythTV, all settings are stored in the database, and your system's
hostname is used as a profile name for any non-global settings and
options. The "LocalHostName" value exists only in the text files that
specify your database credentials, and allow you to select an alternate
profile name to use for those options. The only reason it should be
used is if you want to run multiple different configurations on a single
machine, such as one for your desktop monitor, and another for a
projector connected to the same system.
