Just set up my Now TV Hub Two, and it appears to work OK, with one problem so far.
If I look at Mainentance -> Attached Devices most of the devices have a name of "UNKNOWN". These devices are all running Linux, and it would appear that when I log onto these devices the router has changed the hostname to UNKNOWN.
How do I stop this happening ? or tell the router what the hostname is so that the internal DNS can save my typing in the full i/p address
Thanks
Solved! Go to Solution.

OK. I know it is bad form to reply to ones own messages but no-one replied and I have solved it.
the file /etc/network/interfaces needs a hostname so something like...
auto wlan0
iface wlan0 inet dhcp
wpa-conf /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf
hostname fred-wifi
will give tell the Now_TV box the device name and also set up a DNS entry
