In general people try to help out on this list, but you have to provide
specific information for them to even attempt it.  It's not clear what
you're trying to do or how it's breaking.  Are you doing "apt-get install
mythtv" and you get errors from that, or is in installing and then it
doesn't work after installation?  If its the latter, what isn't working?
The backend doesn't start, the frontend doesn't show a picture?  Without
more info it's hard to suggest something to try.

Take care,
  Dale
