Hi;

Are you sure you're on the latest MythTV for Android? If you are, ignore the
rest of this response.

The 0x31 is the ID1 character in a gziped response.

Some releases of MythTV for Android ask for a gzipped response, however, a
bug prevents it from handling it.

0.25 doesn't return gzipped data, 0.26 does (and I see from your follow-up
you're truly on 0.26.)

Get the 7/11 version from:
