Mattia,

i'm assuming you're doing an all in one install; frontend & backend on
the same box.  you may want to give KnoppMyth a try.  if you have
fairly recent hardware it usually works with a minor tweak here or
there.  a new version was just released that fixes many bugs and uses
a stable version of MythTv.

for more info you may want to check out the KnoppMyth homepage:
http://www.mysettopbox.tv

or the KnoppMyth forums:

and always be sure to check the wiki when you have questions:
http://knoppmythwiki.org/

here is a list of the changes that have recently been included:

hopefully that will help. :)
good luck!
