well, they should.

All mythtv downloads are using Qt networking methods, and at the
beginning of each method it sets the proxy to what is defined in the
environment varible http_proxy (and if that one doesn't exist, it
checks HTTP_PROXY)

After a quick look, it looks like FFmpeg networking utilities do the same.

mythtv-setup uses the main myth downloading, and is also setup to use
the proxy if one is defined
