It can't. At least not reliably. Having two DHCP servers on the same broadcast network both attempting to hand out addresses to any machine that asks for one is not a stable network configuration. Your best bet is to disable DHCP on your router and just use your mythtv as the DHCP server for your network. The only ways to get two DHCP servers to coexist are to partition the network or to use MAC address filtering so that each server knows in advance which machines its responsible for.
