If you install lubuntu on the banana pi, you can install packaged 
version of mythtv.  Doesnt work real well as a frontend, no video 
hardware acceleration - but I didn't play with it for long.  I have a 
banana pi (with sata drive) running as my local mail server (postfix, 
dovecot, spamassassin, clamav) and its fantastic for that purpose.
