Thank you, Geoff.  After some fiddling around with the GUI of 
system-config-firewall-base I have pictures on the TV and 'systemctl | 
grep firewall' tells me I have both iptables.service and 
ip6tables.service enabled.  I hope that means they're also functional.

I mentioned lockups, too.  I'll check up on that, which was happening 
with the current 3.19.3-200.f21 kernel immediately on starting playback 
of a Recording in the frontend.  With 3.17.4-301.fc21 it seems to work.
