After searching for similar problems with Apache and SELinux, the answer 
was to set the context in the storage folder to public_content_rw_t 
instead of the default mnt_t created when I made the file system. For my 
particular setup:

chcon -R -t public_content_rw_t /mnt/mythtv

The ASX and direct download links are now working.
