I completely agree. MythTV is a fantastic app, but can be a pain in the rear to get up and working. I have to say that without Jared Wilson's guide (www.wilsonet.com), I would not be the happy MythTV user I am today. His site convinced me to start using Myth in the first place. I had never really tinkered in Linux before that but this program will really make you work. If you really want to get Myth up and working, I suggest following his guide. It is near fool-proof. There are some things here or there (USB MCE IR receivers for one) that aren't included yet, but this mailing list really helps out. Keep at it, and I am sure you will be as happy as we all are.
