Thank you, however I started there and came across two problems.  First 
and foremost was that my system wasn't stable on that setup.  The second 
is the port files build MythTV 0.17 which has some bug regarding 
daylight savings time, making everything in the guide one hour off.  
Google searches showed the problem was resolved in 0.18.  I tried to 
compile 0.18 on my own but kept getting errors.  I don't recall exactly 
but I think the errors had something to do with paths on FreeBSD not as 
expected.  Obviously someone with more skills and knowledge than I could 
have worked around those.  But at that point I decided to try a Linux 
distro as that's what Myth was written for.

Have you had success with the above guide?

Cheers,

Drew
