I’m still having too many issues, but what I know works is to run as user ‘mythtv’ for creating the XMLTV stuff, and mythfilldatabase. I had to run mythtv-setup as user ‘jim’.

If 'I sudo su mythtv’, it exits with some error related to connecting to the display. Sam for ssh -Y or Desktop Terminal. 

I’m going to keep testing because I think the XMLTV stuff had a problem.  Once I reran that I had success.
