You can download the source from www.mythtv.org and it costs nothing
but the effort you put in to it (and the hardware).  Alternatively, if
you are using Fedora, Ubuntu or a bunch of other distributions, you
can probably just install from a repository much more easily.

FYI, these questions might be better addressed on the mythtv-users list.
