I did try a symlink, but this was during the
mythtvsetup stage, where I was configuring my
channels.  I didn't seem to be able to setup any
channels at that point, and therefore, couldn't setup
my tuners.  Perhaps I did something wrong with 0.14,
as in ATrpms, but it didn't work for me (tv_grab_na_dd
has different command line parameters than
tv_grab_na).

On the other hand, if somebody has gotten
tv_grab_na_dd to work with MythTV 0.14, then I'll
switch to that.
