Mythdora, Mythbuntu, and Knoppmyth are all pretty equally respected, with
Mythdora having the best "it just works" reputation.
Recording clear QAM HD takes very little resource since the packet goes
directly from cable input to hard drive unmodified. HD playback however
requires a fairly decent box. If after reading my presentation you need
further assistance or wish to discuss options let me know; I'll be glad to
help get you going.

You should have a look at the MythTV presentation that just happened
on December 2, because Jerry Moody focused specifically on what
hardware is needed...
