Ahh...I forgot you manage the Gentoo packages!  I was actually just
looking into upgrading to the recently added mythtv-0.27.3_p20140907.
Thanks for that!

Looking at that thread on the SD forum, I see that comment about how
you have to "add the lineups that you're interested in to the JSON
service first.", which at first made me think they were talking about
something in the SD web UI.  However the link it references goes into
all sorts of cryptic stuff that I frankly don't get at all.  Anyone
else understand that?
