You will need to downgrade mythtv as well as the drivers. You need to
install nvidia-180-glx and nvidia-180-kernel-source. This will
automatically remove the 185 versions. I used aptitude from the
command line to do this and it automatically downgraded mythtv to the
packages that depend on the 180 drivers instead of the mythtv packages
compiled against 185.
