I'm lot closer now. Yes, but to be sure, I did it both as root and as 
mythtv. Both were successful.

So I took another look at my .mythtv directory. I'm not sure if this was 
what I am supposed to do, but I moved the config file from the command 
above to:
.mythtv/channels

Then I tried the connection again and this time it worked. I still 
couldn't assign the starting channel, so I exited, started mythbackend, 
and ran mythfilldatabase.

Then I stopped the backend and ran mythtv-setup again, and now I can 
assign a channel.

NOW, if I go to mythweb and try to see my listings they are blank. :-( 
So not sure what to do next.

I do see two errors in mythbackend's log.

1) Can't find mysql.txt. I don't thin this is a huge deal as it defaults 
to localhost.
2) Error in  /var/lib/mythtv/.mythtv/config.xml. Basically this file 
doesn't exist. Not sure how critical that one is.

What do you you think?

Thanks,
James
