a) Gutsy or Hardy b) apt-cache search 'mythtv*' c) apt-get install mythtv-frontend, backend, themes All trivially easy DIVICO Plus Huge list of other DVB cards Any sound card, say SB or ensonic SATA WD raptors caused me problems, I got WD 300G PATA. Um 80G is quite small. You will use it quite easily /dev/sda2 291914560 105160556 186754004 37% /mnt/store A few programs waiting to be watched! Making a DVD from recorded will easily use 10G You can watch (frontend) on 256M 1G machine. Better graphics == better video. EG NVIDIA 8500/8600 Really easy these days, but watch out you can't mix-n-match eg Hardy backend is wrong protocol for a gutsy frontend.
