Attached is a patch against -fixes v18528, though it should apply at least
all the way back to 16344 which is where I tested it. In order to use this,
you'll need to manually update your DB:

INSERT INTO profilegroups SET name = 'HD-PVR Recorders',   cardtype =
'HDPVR', is_default = 1;
INSERT INTO recordingprofiles SET name = 'Default',      profilegroup = 13;
INSERT INTO recordingprofiles SET name = 'Live TV',      profilegroup = 13;
INSERT INTO recordingprofiles SET name = 'High Quality', profilegroup = 13;
INSERT INTO recordingprofiles SET name = 'Low Quality',  profilegroup = 13;

This would normally be done by Myth with a schema update, but updating the
schema in -fixes isn't possible as it would conflict with schema updates in
trunk.

If the above changes are made, and at some later time you decide to update
to a newer MythTV release or to trunk, when MythTV updates to schema 1223,
it will fail and you'll have to manually change your schema in the database
to 1223 to get past it:

update settings set data = 1223 where value = 'DBSchemaVer' and data = 1222;
