Mattia,
i'm assuming you're doing an all in one install; frontend & backend on
the same box. you may want to give KnoppMyth a try. if you have
fairly recent hardware it usually works with a minor tweak here or
there. a new version was just released that fixes many bugs and uses
a stable version of MythTv.
for more info you may want to check out the KnoppMyth homepage:
http://www.mysettopbox.tv
or the KnoppMyth forums:
http://mysettopbox.tv/phpBB2/
and always be sure to check the wiki when you have questions:
http://knoppmythwiki.org/
here is a list of the changes that have recently been included:
http://mysettopbox.tv/CHANGELOG.txt
hopefully that will help. :)
good luck!
