I am following, all the way. I removed from the README ; pasted your
command into the terminal, used ctrl+x to which it asked if I wanted to
save ; to which I typed Y ; and now I have this screen:
  GNU nano 2.2.6         File: /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.tmp
 Modified

%mythtv ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown, /usr/bin/setwakeup.sh


















File Name to Write: /etc/sudoers.d/mythtv.tmp

^G Get Help         M-D DOS Format      M-A Append          M-B Backup File
^C Cancel           M-M Mac Format      M-P Prepend

and I have no idea where to go from here

Maybe you just need to logout. Failing that, use mythtv-setup,
and remove the command.

I have done little tests; setting a recording in the near future, then
logging out or shutting down, and upon these failures I have deemed it not
working. Am I not giving it enough time to react? Which should I use
shutting down or logging out?  Which command?
