There's another possibility...  Someone didn't read the directions. ;)

 From the web page:

$ mkdir mythtv
$ cd mythtv
$ cvs -d :pserver:mythtv at cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs login
Logging in to :pserver:mythtv at cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs
CVS password: mythtv
$ cvs -z3 -d :pserver:mythtv at cvs.mythtv.org:/var/lib/mythcvs checkout mythtv
  


The key point being the line that reads  "CVS password: mythtv".
