Okay I applied the lasted updated and got everything working.

Just a couple on strange things I had to rediscover since I have not
installed Mythtv on a X86 system with Ubuntu in a while.  My productions
system has been working for 2 years with just updates in place from v28 to
v29 to v30.
1. I forgot what a pain it was to get the right version of XMLTV commands
installed on Ubuntu.
2. I forgot about the backend not waiting for the network tuners to come up.

Luckily on #2 the wiki for Ubuntu now comments on this and points you to
Stephen Worthington's thread on who to fix this.
