I got a little farther ;-)...

I made sure there were no priority settings in the CentOS-Base.repo
file in /etc/yum.repos.d and then set up my atrpms.repo in the same
directory as follows:
# atrpms.repo
#
[atrpms]
name=ATrpms for RHEL and CentOS $releasever - $basearch
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/stable
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

[atrpms-testing]
name=ATrpms Replacements/Additions for RHEL and CentOS $releasever -
$basearch rpms
#mirrorlist=http://mirrorlist.centos.org/?release=$releasever&arch=$basearch&repo=os
baseurl=http://dl.atrpms.net/el$releasever-$basearch/atrpms/testing
enabled=1
gpgcheck=1
gpgkey=http://ATrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms

Now, I still get the following errors when I attempt "yum install mythtv":
Error: Missing Dependency: perl(XML::Writer) >= 0.600 is needed by
package perl-XMLTV

Am I still missing a repository or is this a packaging error somewhere?
