Run mythtv-setup on the server. There's two places under General that you need to put in the IP address of your backend. Make sure you are using a real IP address (on your internal network I assume) and not a local loopback address of localhost or 127.0.0.1. I don't know Knoppmyth either, but I assume you can get into setup via command line somehow....

You probably should modify the Master Server settings
in the setup program and set the proper IP address.

that is when i try and watch live tv.  the backend is running and i
can connect to the mysql database so the network is obviously up.  i
haven't had a chance to figure this step out yet.

You need to give access on your backend Mysql database to your Mac
(or any other frontend). My internet connection is down right now so
I can't look it up, but check out Tips-n-Tricks under Jarrod's web
page.  It has something about mysql access.    mysqladmin grant user
mythtv *.% on mythconverg... I forget, but run that command on your
backend.
