exactly the advice I was looking for thanks Nick.

Obviously coming from other distros I've never heard of atrpms.net but
this seems to be the way to go. There does seem to be a lot of i386
packages in there though, I guess it's just how they've been compiled?
So how do I use it, do i add atrpms.net as a repository somehow or
just install the rpms individually with rpm -ivh ?

So yeah I'll just stay on mythtv 0.22 until CentOS comes out with a
ver 6 of RHEL then upgrade everything at once to myth 0.23

I guess the next question is when will this all happen? could be 6
months down the track by the time RHEL 6 is released and CentOS catch
up? Could be longer?
