First, I'd type:

     ls -l /etc/sudoers.d

to see if any other files crept in there. I believe you started with
none (other than README.) So, check first.

Based on Karl's reply and yours, you already have the proper
name, but it has nothing in it.

You should end up with just the README and the new file. The output
should look like this for the mythtv file:

     -r--r-----   1 root root   380 Mar 29 15:21 mythtv

in other words, owned by user and group root. And read only
by them. Obviously the number of characters and timestame
will be different from mine.

So remove the mythtv.3 file and use visudo to correct the
real one.
