MythTV/BTTV is a bad, bad combination. MythTV uses proprietary (free, open-source, but nonstandard) extensions to the NuppelVideo codec to encode their RTJPEG/MPEG4 broadcasts on software (bt87x) cards that cannot be played on default installs of mplayer.
A patch is required, and most/all distributions' installs of mplayer do not contain that patch. (With Gentoo, if you have MythTV in your "use" flags mplayer gets built with the patch, but I can confirm that Debian and any debian based distro's do not have any official debs that have it enabled) The hardware cards (WinTV PVR-250,ivtv) record in bog-standard MPEG2. They are $120 however. This is a showstopper for me as I use XBOX/XBMC to play recorded content, and I can't seem to build a mplayer.dll for XBOX that supports MythTV's proprietary extensions!
