Anyway, how can I get newer versions of software from portage?
In general you'd do
ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="~x86" emerge -pv mythtv
to get something newer. However I do not recommend you do this unless
it is emerging just a single package. By using ~x86 this way it will
also give you the testing versions of everything else it needs to
update or install for the first time.
You can also place a ~x86 in your /etc/portage/package.keywords file
to relieve you of having to do htis every time you update the package.
Thanks for your reply. You pointed me in the right direction and I did
a little more reading. Please know that according to this post:

the ACCEPT_KEYWORDS way of doing it is no longer recommended.
Thanks,
Drew
