LiveTV not working on remote box in Dharma Live/mythbackend 23.0+fixes but does work on local xbmc/mythbox

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Setup:
Machine 1: Core2Duo E8400 running Dharma XBMCLive install with Mythbackend 
installed. 1 satellite card (NOVA-S) and 2 terrestrial tuners (NOVA-T and USB 
tuner).
Machine 2: Atom/ION Zotac based machine, running Dharma XBMCLive with mythbox 
installed and configured correctly (running checks say OK). 
Both machines hard wired connected via connected via gbit ethernet 

Enter mythbox->Watch TV and select any channel to watch on the remote xbmc 
(i.e. Machine 2) and the "Working" dialog occurs but just returns to the LiveTV 
view. Additionally, the tuner is reserved by mythtvbackend and it thinks it is 
in use. Doing exactly the same on the local xbmc (i.e. Machine 1) results in 
video being displayed correctly.

Running mythbox 1.0.2 on Ubuntu 10.04LTS based on xbmcLive install on both 
machines. Mythtvbackend is 23.0+fixes as distributed in the basic 10.04LTS. 

Log of remote xbmc xbmc.log which fails to play (both xbmc and mythbox logging 
enabled): http://pastebin.com/a8hsuVsg

Log of mythbackend.log when the above is executed: http://pastebin.com/R41xTxCn

log of local xbmc xbmc.log  which plays correctly (both xbmc and mythbox 
logging enabled): http://pastebin.com/PbGh35m2

Log of mythbackend.log when the above is executed and working (the errors may 
be logged, but the channel plays OK): http://pastebin.com/Q1ERh0Yu

Looks to be related to this hostname related bug in XBMC which has been fixed 
on trunk  -- http://trac.xbmc.org/ticket/10650

From scanning the logs, this difference stands out

Try placing an entry for 'pain' in /etc/hosts in both machines and see if that 
helps:

192.168.1.21  pain
