Yeah, I seem to recall when I was briefly mucking around with this
that I had to enable multicast on the Linux box with something like

    ifconfig eth0 allmulti multicast

and maybe also a route for the multicast subnet

    route add -net 239.0.0.0 netmask 255.0.0.0 eth0

to get the tv to see the server...
