You should upgrade.  Doing so should fix the issue you've noticed.

MythTV is no longer using CVS--it's now SVN.  See http://svn.mythtv.org/ 
for instructions on downloading.  You'll want the release-0.20-fixes 
(stable 0.20) branch.

Make sure you upgrade all your systems' installations of mythtv, 
mythplugins, and myththemes.
