upgrading to 31, it works.

Thank you to all devs and all those who help on this list and elsewhere.

MythTV is really an amazing piece of software and it beats every settop 
box I have seen so far if you stay at unencrypted material. My MythTV 
system started in 2006 with v0.18 and analog tv (and the famous pvr 
devices), went over to dvb-c and now iptv (and I kept the first 
recording that was not a test). Wow!
