That's what these distributions are about...they have preinstalled myth setups, so they essentially copy themselves to your hard drive all set up already. Even doing it in a raw Debian install is fairly easy now...point at the debian-multimedia repo that a nice guy maintains myth on, install it and you're pretty much set, though it still uses MySQL instead of PostgreSQL which I think is a mistake

The main issue is getting a tuner card that works...that's why I suggested two specific tuners (fusionhdtv and hdhomerun) to TDF in the previous thread...I know those work because I'm using them...
