Hi Jordan,
I would say that the Community Ubuntu MythTV Guide is very good:
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/MythTV
but I think there's quite a nasty problem with it. I've gone through it
twice now and although the steps are very clear, I never get the end 'ta
da' moment. There's always a problem logging into MySql. If you know
your Linux, then this is probably not much of a problem. I got past it
once, then the entire system died on me. I've been through the guide
again since, but have forgotten what I did with the MySql bit so I need
to work it out again. Unfortunately, family and work life have kept me
away from fixing it for about 3 weeks now but I think everything is
close to being up and running, once I figure out how to make sure MySql
is set up properly again.
I think that Ubuntu sets a password for MySql different to what the
guides suggest for Myth and that's where the confusion comes in.
Here's another very good guide.

Just found this one too
http://www.slash32.com/ubuntu-myth.html
but it may be a bit dated.
Good luck
Damian
