If you want to build on the work EFF has done, we just released a
"Cookbook" describing step-by-step setup of MythTV for U.S. HDTV,
with KnoppMyth and the pcHDTV HD-3000 card.
<http://www.eff.org/broadcastflag/cookbook/>
We're encouraging people to build HDTV PVRs before the broadcast flag
outlaws manufacture of the tuners, and found that KnoppMyth offered
an easy and full-featured way to get there.
We'd be happy to see this document expanded to cover more of the
surrounding features of MythTV.
