chown -R mythtv:mythtv /home/mythtv

You can see the directories did not get changed because you were in the
directory of the user and it started with a ".", and with chown, files with
"." are not caught unless you begin them with period.

The "for sure" way to always catch everything is (although specifying the
path to chown will also work):

find /home/mythtv -type d -exec chown mythtv:mythtv {} \;
find /home/mythtv -type f -exec chown mythtv:mythtv {} \;

You set the x bit in stead of the w bit
try:
sudo chmod 664 /home/mythtv/.xmltv/SchedulesDirect.DB

I also notice you did not run sudo chown mythtv.mythtv on the entire
home directory. possibly because it skipped the hidden . directories.
Try:

sudo chown -R mythtv.mythtv /home/mythtv

and check if the .mythtv subdirectory is also properly changed.

ls -la /home/mythtv
