Hi,

Ive used MythTV for over 2 years now, since .10 at least, and while it
can be a bit tricky, its not too overly difficult. If your in the Tampa
Bay area, Id be glad to meet up with you and install it. I use MythTV
with 3 diff distros, and 3 diff OS's, along with mulitple capture cards,
SD and HD, so Im sure we could get you going.

Tom

P.S. A good place to start for installing MythTV is Jarod Wilson's
Fedora Core + MythTV Howto at the link below, along with the MythTV
users mailing list, listed on the Mythtv.org home page.
