Thanks, all.  I missed the significance of the thread. So I'll wait 
until the updates have been applied, update, and retest.

Just to be clear, in the past I have done all setup work as my normal 
user 'jim' except the setup of XMLTV when I do as user 'mythtv'.  I 
assume I can still do that with v31??
