Getting Started with MythTV

I've gotten tired of rebooting my windows laptop into KnoppMyth every time I want to want to use it for MythTV. I've looked before for a MythTV client frontend for windows and never found anything that really seemed to be worth the time.

Today I tried MythTV Player. It's not really a MythTV frontend in the true sense. The name really describes it quite well, being that it plays MythTV content.

MythTV has a lot of different components and dependancies. It can can hours, if not days to get the right version of each thing MythTV depends on all installed and working together.

It doesn't have to be that way. Some people in the MythTV community have done a great job creating easy to install MythTV Linux distributions that are purpose built for running MythTV.
