Thanks, I thought something like this too, but I never requested for this to be done.
I expected themes to arrive as mythtv updates using the usual distro system,
so why repeatedly request it?

I do not recall an option for this in the setup either - how do I disable this access?
I searched the MythTV wiki and made a few 'net searches but did not find an answer.

What I see is just that one failed access and no further "downgrades".
