The most detailed setup instructions that I know of for Myth 0.21 and the HDHomeRun are at:

https://help.ubuntu.com/community/HDHomeRun#head-b137a44058edd7aff95f2481a5558bc92cebdb24

It shouldn't matter that you're running OS X.  If you're installing 0.22, I understand the channel scan is entirely
