I have been having various problems installing MythTV. My prefered option is
Ubuntu Breezy but I cant get that woring (c other email). I have also had
some luck with KnoppixMyth whitch is great at getting a basic system
running. However getting everything working properly is a nightmare as there
are no consistent usable sources. You are not meant to do a apt-get
dist-upgrade, even upgrade is problematic. I cant even get the dependencies
for nuv2disc without getting into dependency hell!.
I am thinking gentoo may be the answer but how stable is it and how
difficult to set up (I have compiled a few kernels).

You certainly are free to use whatever disto you want... After the release
of Debain Stable, Unstable (on which KnoppMyth is built), was in a bit of a
flux. In a way, KnoppMyth should be thought as an appliance. Why
dist-upgrade if you don't have to? While our own repository is a
possibilty, we are a 3 man development team and can only do so much in our
spare time.
While I cannot speak for KnoppixMyth, but KnoppMyth _already_ includes
nuv2disc (thanks Jams!).
