The MCC application is working correctly.  It is the URI that it 
connects to on the internet that is either no longer available or 
temporarily down.  I was trying to ascertain which of the two.

Ultimately, all I want to do is download and install other themes so I 
can select them in Mythtv Frontend Setup.  Is it possible to copy the 
files from another frontend?  Where do I look for them?  Are there 
configuration files that need editing to know about the added (copied) 
theme files?
