What you can do is edit rc.net, and append the line
hostname mytivo
to the end of the script. rc.net is always run on boot so the script hostname will run and give the box its name. If you run either nic_config or PTV_nic_config (also saw a reference to but didn't find tivo_nic_config), then rc.net is overwritten and your edit is gone. Obviously, you can substitute your own name for "mytivo"... ;-]
