I figured out the problem.  I ended up with two copies of all the mythtv
binaries installed.  One in /usr/bin and one in /usr/local/bin.  So I was
executing the wrong mythtv-setup.  I should have caught this before posting
to the list.  It just took some fundamental basic troubleshooting.

I am a lot further along now.  Mythtv sees the HD-PVR and I can get it to
record a program.  But mythtv will not play back the recording ( error
message: "Could not open codec 0x1f9cd70, id(AAC) type(Audio) aborting.
reason -1" ).  But I can use VLC to play the file stored in
/var/lib/mythtv/recordings no problem.

I'm so close I can taste it.  I'm 95% of the way there.  Any ideas why
mythtv wont playback the recording?
