Thank you. It is working now. Based on your reply, I "apt-get purge myth*",
and then I removed every file from the system that started with myth, and
reinstalled mythbuntu-control-center and set it up again as a front end. It
didn't take as long as I expected.
I had tried various configurations and distros trying to make use of some
old hardware, and had gotten myself and my front end rather confused.
