Well, that's the theory, anyway.  Practice seems to be a little 
different.  :-/

$ echo $http_proxy
http://proxy:3128/
$ ping proxy
PING server (10.75.22.3) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from server (10.75.22.3): icmp_req=1 ttl=64 time=0.615 ms
^C
$ mythtv-setup -geometry 640x480
...
2013-07-19 11:21:13.773313 E  NetworkOperation Error on Finish:

And in my firewall's log:

REJECT:IN=br-lan OUT=eth1 MAC=... SRC=10.75.22.2 DST=88.190.230.128 
LEN=60 TOS=0x00 PREC=0x00 TTL=63 ID=23416 DF PROTO=TCP SPT=44028 DPT=80 
WINDOW=14600 RES=0x00 SYN URGP=0

That's mythtv-setup most definitely *not( using the defined proxy.

Happy to provide any more information to help get to the bottom of this.
