Gary:  Thanks for that.  I was beginning to think that Richard probably 
has a 0.28-compatible version in the works and alternative input might 
confuse the issue.  In which case I could just watch that space...

My version needs some polishing but it currently works for me. 
Richard's 0.27-5-ish has services missing from mine.  I'm an interested 
user but have no real desire to spend yet more time on Mythtv or take on 
a formal role.  And it seems that other people are building 
Myth-on-Fedora without the packaging step.

I'll see how it goes.

John
