Mint & Mate look like good fit with HTPC.

Those links are to dvb-v4l driver branch
Note it states they require kernel >= 3.7.

You don't need the whole kernel source or mythtv source just kernel
headers package & build tools.
The DIY built kernel modules are loaded by DKMS on your existing
installed kernel.
Note that kernel updates will very likely require you to rebuild & apply
again. 

Those patches could be available from project home..

That has good guide & explanation..
