I looked through all of the screens, in both mythtv-setup as well as the 
Utilities/Setup in the frontend, and I don't see a  check box anywhere.  
As for the Envyng suggestion, I have no idea what that is.  I try to run 
both "envyng" and "Envyng" and it says "command not found".  I'm sure 
I'm misunderstanding your suggestion there, so if you could clarify, 
that would be great.

Thanks for the help!
