	Robert and Diego are right, there is
something blocking SVN protocol traffic.
Any Subversion repositories that use the
svn:// or svn+ssh:// URLs will need a
more direct connection to the Internet.

	That is a different type of connection protocol you
are requesting, which causes a different type of error.




	Some Subversion repositories have both HTTP _and_ SVN
protocol access. Sadly, mplayer and ffmpeg do not seem to
support HTTP access.



	Try something like this as an experiment:
svn co http://svn.mythtv.org/svn/trunk/themestringstool

	If that doesn't work, you might need to add
proxy details into the file ~/.subversion/servers

[global]
http-proxy-host = http-gw.fwall.mit.edu
http-proxy-port = 80
http-proxy-username = s1234567
http-proxy-password = firstyear

(the [global] section is near the end)
