 I am following the install directions given here:

 http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/User_Manual:Initial_Installation

 Except, instead of compiling the mythtv source code, I just apt-getted the
 binary from the debian repo.  I am running 64 bit debian/wheezy on a
 quadcore machine (amd).

 When I exit mythtv-setup as logged in user mythtv, it tries to write the
 configuration file to user nwayno.  Which it can not do, since it does not
 have permission.  I have nuked ~/.mythtv in the mythtv directory.

 and tried it again, but the same problem persists.

 If I go to user nwayno, and run mythtv-setup from there, it wants to write
 the configuration file to ~/mythtv/.mythtv/ (just the opposite location
 from running mythtv-setup when logged in as user mythtv)

 I thought nuking ~/.mythtv would start me over on the mythtv-setup, but it
 did not.  What am I doing wrong?

 I have a wintv pvr-950q.

 I am a novice on mythtv, but NOT a novice to Linux.
