OK, but when I go to mythtv.org, click on download, and download the
package there, it's 0.20 not -fixes, or 0.20a? Just as well, I'm
having problems with the OS X frontend not running on Panther and
someone had to compile a special version of the OS X frontend for me
- I don't want to risk breaking it all with another protocol change.
The wiki seems to say that 0.20.1 isn't released:
http://mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/Release_Notes_-_0.20.1
Note "This is an unreleased development version"
Thanks for your help anyway!
