New release with the latest 0.27-Fixes code--including a fix for the 
impending disruption of the ScedulesDirect guide service!!

The easiest way to install a complete OS X-based MythTV 0.27-fixes 
system.  Tested with 10.6 through 10.9.  Available at:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/macportsmythtvinstaller/

(Look carefully for 0.27.4.  For some reasons, SourceForge kept 
insisting that 0.27.1 was the "latest".  Even after I deleted 0.27.1!)

The installer provides everything for a self-contained Mac-based system:
-backend and MySQL
-frontend
-Perl, Python and PHP bindings
-MythWeb, for accessing and controlling your Myth system via a web browser
-all the support programs and packages to make everything 'just work'!

Many other fixes including a lot of work on LiveTV.

However, for arcane reasons, we need to switch the database from 
MySQL 5.1 to MariaDB 5.5. If you have an existing installation, 
you'll want to back up and migrate your data from the old to new 
databases.

As always, cookbook-type instructions are at:

Enjoy!
