Geoff,

Have you read this document:

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/MythTV#Example_installation:_MythTV_0.17_on_Mandrake_10.1_with_a_Hauppauge_PVR-350

Seems will be better off using urpmi instead of apt-get if you're
using Mandrake. The doc evens shows how to add sources to enable
MythTV to install and looks up-to-date.
