Well, hopefully this will help someone else.  It was 2-fold for me:

1.  I did not have the multinational SD-JSON selected
2.  The "Configure" section of the Source was not setup properly.  The Text
box and Enter button in mythtv-setup were just not intuitive enough for me
to grasp.  I would never have thought I would need to fill all that out
after I did it from the command line, but it is working now.

It was either 1 with or without 2 - not sure :)
