I finally (technically) installed KnoppMyth (a Debian based Linux distribution designed just to run MythTV) today.

So, although it works fine, I haven’t actually managed to test any of the important features.

The only part of the installation that was a problem was that the hard drive KnoppMyth uses must be the master device on the primary IDE channel. I had it on the secondary and it was not happy…
