Just discovered this last night... To customize the menus (from Jarod's Guide):
If you simply copy main_settings.xml and mainmenu.xml out of /usr/share/mythtv/ into ~/.mythtv/, you can edit them to your heart's content without screwing up your main install, and the changes will survive an upgrade. This is probably the easiest way to remove unwanted content from the menus, rename anything to your liking, etc., without breaking any of the packages.
