<div dir="ltr">Hey Thomas, thanks for the reply. The PC is multi use, I have a 160 GB HD with Windows 7/64 bit on it and now thanks to your advise I have Ubuntu 12.04 and Mythbuntu sharing the 1TB HD, approx 25% - 75%. I've opened Mythbuntu up and it seems that it is only a front end, it keeps telling me that there is no back end configured. What should I do now to configure the tuner cards?</div>

</div>When I started with MythTV a few years ago I found this link very useful<br>

This guide is written very beginner friendly IMO.<br>
<br>
I would recommend using an LTS version of Ubuntu with the Mythbuntu<br>
repository installed or, if the PC is used only for MythTV, Mythbuntu.<br>
