kdepfyffer,

I'm running CentOS 5.5 and MythTV 23.1; both from fresh installs.  These 
are the notes I made:
----------
Set up atrpms:	
	Follow the install instructions on atrpms.net; rpm --import 
http://atrpms.net/RPM-GPG-KEY.atrpms
	Copy the atrpms and freshmeat repo files from the prior install into 
/etc/yum.repo.d/  Or get them from atrpms and freshmeat

Add the following to /etc/yum.repos.d/CentOS-Base.repo:
	exclude=qt4 qt4-*
	See "Installing_MythTV_on_RHEL-CentOS" for explanation
Note:   I saw this too late; ie., when I tried to run mythtv-setup, it 
crapped out.  I googled and found the way to fix it was to install 
qt44-mysql from atrpms-testing, then erase qt4 and qt4-mysql.  It must 
be in this sequence and do not install qt44, it's not needed.

Install mythtv:
	yum install mythtv-suite --enablerepo=atrpms
	I had some unresolved dependencies so I had to enable atrpms-testing. 
But then it found a later version of mythtv-suite in atrpms-testing.  So 
I disabled atrpms-testing, ran the install, analyzed the dependencies 
for those available only thru atrpms-testing and yum installed those 
with atrpms-testing active.  Then I went back and ran the install 
without atrpms testing available.
	yum install qt44-x11 libtheoraenc1 libFLAC8 libtheoradec1 PIL 
perl-XML-Twig --enablerepo=atrpms-testing
	yum install mythtv-suite
Note:  When I updated it to 0.23.1, I could not use "yum update 
mythtv-suite."  It only updated mythtv, not all the other plugins, 
libraries, etc.  So I had to do them all manually.

Then follow the info in MythTV Wiki:  Installing MythTV on Fedora
-----------

I hope this helps.  Good luck!
