How do you setup a PC to run MythTV?

Tip for best answer: M$0.00
Separate topics with commas, or by pressing return. Use the delete or backspace key to edit or remove existing topics.

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

A complete list of system/equipment specs needed:

MythTV can be a bit complicated to setup. If your new to linux, or are the least bit uncomfortable with it, this can be a bear to get going. I would recommend looking at one of the distributions which are pre-setup such as KnoppMyth(http://www.knoppmyth.net/knoppmyth.html) or MythBuntu(http://www.mythbuntu.org/) which have most of the complicated stuff done for you. If you still want to go ahead and try with plain ol' Myth, try the following guides(depending on your distro):
