Myth-TV HOWTO

Tom Walsh has a great article over at Newsforge entitled "A happy MythTV user shows the way" where he walks people through his trials and tribulations in getting MythTV up and running in his entertainment setup. And best yet, he's honest about its difficulty and cost

I do agree that a MythTV setup is not economically cheaper than a TiVo unit and that the MythTV project is a rather advanced Linux project. But if you have the experience and are willing to put in the time and persevere, you can be as satisfied with the result as I am.

What I personally recommend is trying out KnoppMyth if you are even remotely interested in MythTV to test it out before spending that one grand to get all your dream hardware together. It might not be for you. Or your spouse.
