I recently purchased HDHomeRun, a dual TV tuner that connects via ethernet. The idea of it is to be able to stream video content to any machine on your network.
The support section of the silicondust website has some instructions for setting up with MythTV: http://www.silicondust.com/hdhomerun/instructions/mythtv which mention a Linux utility that they distribute: hdhomerun_config.
The Ubuntu Community Documentation page for the HDHomeRun https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HDHomeRun says that "hdhomerun_config discover" will dump out the unit's device ID and IP number.
So, if you have a Linux computer somewhere else on the network, you might be able to use it to find out what IP the HDHomerun thinks it has.
Here's a MythTV thread about HDHomeRun and static networks, which makes it sound difficult: http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/364589
However, the last note in this thread seems to claim that your Mac can become a DHCP server for the HDHomerun, just by turning on Internet Sharing. That's news to me. http://www.123macmini.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=101362
