That's what earlier versions look like, e.g. 1.10.1.

Google tells me that device uses: Android (2.3.4, 2.3, 2.2),
which isn't supported by app version 1.20.0.

It was discussed on this last some time ago. Thanks for
mentioning it.

The release notes have been updated to point that out:

The Play Store doesn't have a private section for
Beta text, so you're seeing the existing releases
information. The link above is the answer during
beta.

That's one model newer than mine, and I used it on
MythTV v0.27 too.

Try this from any browser, other than one on your backend:

    <yourMasterBackend>:6544/Myth/GetHostName

You should get a one line response that includes your
host's name. If your backend starts with --noupnp
that would prevent it from working.

You can try sections 1 and 2 under 'Connection Tests' here:
