Justin, does your backend happen to have both ip4 and ip6 addresses?

I have had a similar issue recently on my 0.28 system. It was resolved
by setting both ip4 and ip6 addresses in mythtv-setup (and making sure
the firewall was configured correctly). I had previously left the ip6
address unset, for no good reason.

and some other experience, suggested to me that I should try this.
