Based on all the discussion regarding the Raspberry Pi as a MythTV
frontend I've decided to get one to try. Being totally new to the topic
I have some real beginner-level questions - even after visiting the RPi
page and the MythTV wiki.
Which OS is "better" for this purpose? I've noticed discussion of
OpenElec, Ubuntu Mate, Snappy Ubuntu, and Raspbian. Others?
Is a true MythTV frontend preferred, or is Kodi with MythTV PVR more
widely used? Trade-offs?
What size memory card is commonly used, 8B, 16GB, 32GB? Class 10 only?
Any critical trade-offs?
How resilient is the Pi to power loss? Does it need a controlled
shutdown to function normally?
Other advice for a beginner?
