do you see mythbackend listening on the ssdp UDP port? (port 1900).

I see this:

netstat -anp|grep 1900
udp        0      0 239.255.255.250:1900    0.0.0.0:*                           2089/mythbackend

I also have this in my routing table:

Destination     Gateway         Genmask         Flags Metric Ref    Use Iface
239.0.0.0       0.0.0.0         255.0.0.0       U     0      0        0 eth0

If you don't have that, then try this:

/sbin/route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0

and also check that ifconfig eth0 shows the MULTICAST flag as set

If all of the above looks OK, then check what fd mythbackend is
listening on 239.255.255.250:1900 using lsof, then use strace to watch
what happens when the packets come in.
