Just to close the loop on this one, it was just me. :)  I took one of 
the working frontend systems, connected it to the TV where I was having 
problems, and it worked without any problems.  So, I just rebuilt the 
one system and everything worked as expected.  I guess I just had a bad 
backup/restore where something got corrupted along the way.
