I am installing this right now. Virgin 1.1.4 system done native partition. 

1) Install base system.
2) Modify /etc/apt/sources.list and add the above 3 lines.
3) apt-get update
4) apt-get dist-upgrade
5) apt-get install mythtv-base

This bombs out with an error about not being able to touch the
mysql.txt.new.

Solution: mkdir /etc/mythtv

I also did "chmod 777 /etc/mythtv" but not sure if needed.

retry installing mythtv-base which should now succeed.

6) apt-get install mythtv-frontend

You should now have a working base mythtv system. 

Good luck!
