I tried editing /etc/apt/sources.list

$ diff sources.list-bak0 sources.list
38d37
< 
57a57,58
> 
> deb [ allow-insecure=yes ] http://ppa.launchpad.net/mythbuntu/30.0/ubuntu cosmic InRelease

from https://launchpad.net/~mythbuntu/+archive/ubuntu/30.0 "This PPA does not contain any packages yet" UGH!!!

I restored sources.list

$ sudo add-apt-repository ppa:mythbuntu/30
$ sudo add-apt-repository --remove ppa:mythbuntu/30.0
$ sudo apt-get update

that looks like it worked

sudo apt-get install mythtv

a screen appeared titled "configuring mythtv-database" and asked "will other computers run MythTV?" I answered NO

Configure

from my old home directory:

$ ls -a .mythtv/
3rdParty  Cache-mythfilldatabase-myth-bob  Cache-mythtv-setup-myth-bob  
config.xml       lircrc       MythGallery  MythVideo      RAOPKey.rsa  
themecache  thumbcache
backuprc  Cache-mythfrontend-myth-bob      channels                     
HardwareProfile  MythBrowser  MythMusic    pytmdb3.cache  remotecache  
themes      tmp
$ cp -pr .mythtv ~/.

for the purpose of testing my setup without damaging my existing recordings, I will not mount my 2TB storage disk. Instead, I'll just create the /storage directory locally:

$ sudo mkdir /storage
$ sudo chmod a+rwx /storage
