Hmm, version 14.10 doesn't appear to be available yet in the MythBuntu 
dist, so I'm going to try re-installing the box from scratch with the 
current version (14.04.2).  Maybe something went wrong with the original 
installation...this really should have worked right from the beginning.  
If that doesn't work, I'll go with 14.10.  By the way, thanks for all 
the help!
