I have never installed Android on a Raspberry Pi. I would be interested
in how that works. I expect that it will not work well with the android
version of MythTV. I think the limited amount of memory will be a
factor and I think android has a lot of overhead that raspbian does not
have. Also you may find the hardware assisted deinterlace that we use
with raspbian does not work on android.
