Tutorial: Installing MythTV on an Ubuntu System

Lately we've seen a big push to incorporate PCs into our TV viewing environment. Whether you want to use a PC for TV viewing or as a complete media system, MythTV is a great piece of PVR software for your PC. Since MythTV is designed for Linux and Mac OSX, you'll want to follow this nice tutorial we found for installing on an Unbuntu (Linux) based box. According to Parker.co.uk:

With the release of Ubuntu 6.10 (Edgy Eft), installing MythTV is now easier than ever.

Ubuntu is a great basis for a general purpose MythTV box and now comes with the latest version of MythTV (0.20) in its standard packages.

This guide focuses on DVB in the UK (Freeview), but much of it should be applicable to anybody installing Myth.

Oh yeah, did I mention MythTV is free? I knew that would get your attention.
