From what I have read, it is only supposed to ask you this once. My
system keeps asking though even though ~/.mythtv/config.xml exists and
has appropriate permissions.
Here is the ticket with info on the autodiscovery:
http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/ticket/3293
SVN 14507 adds the ability to turn off backend autodiscovery with a -d
option: http://svn.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/14507
I haven't tried it yet, though.
