Watching TV is much easier through tvtime or xawtv, which are easier to 
get up and running than MythTV.  MythTV gives full PVR functionality, 
which is much better.  There's really no need to install MythTV via 
rpms.  It'll install onto just about any linux platform (or OSX); just 
follow http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall .  I installed 
several different versions over the years and its really not too hard.  
I'm not in Hawaii anymore, though.  Its not testing by any means.  Its 
very stable and works fine.  You can use one of the point versions, or 
you can use the CVS version.  Both work well.  The CVS is not unstable, 
but it does develop rapidly.
