I would create a 256MB boot using ext2
2 to 4 GB swap
10 to 40GB / using ext4
The rest LVM container.

Inside the lvm container I would create a video partition using ext4.

However if you never want to use your system for anything but mythtv
you can skip the LVM entirely and use a single ext4 as your forth
primary partition.
