MythTV heaven

Fresh from a recent MythTV upgrade at his house, Dave came to my house on Friday to assist me in installing MythTV on my Linux PVR box. I had attempted a couple of times before, but lack of time and a confusing installation process lead to failure, so I've been using a combination of Freevo, the at daemon, and scripts I wrote.

Well, five hours later we had a mostly working MythTV installation! I spent a bit of time writing scripts to import my old Freevo recordings and metadata, but it mostly seems to be working.

MythTV does everything I always wanted Freevo to do, plus more. Naomi is happier too as it doesn't crash as much as before and seems to be more resistant to Oskar's keyboard fiddling.
