There doesn't appear to be any MythTV x86_64 for F10 either. You'll
either have to wait for the binaries to be built for F10, revert to
F9, or learn to compile your own MythTV binaries.

PIL (python-imaging) still causes ridiculous conflicts as both Fedora
and atrpms provide their own packages, but with different names which
conflict if the Fedora version is installed and you try to update
MythTV (which in turn attempts to drag in PIL).

I'd also suggest subscribing to the atrpms-users list (or at least
reading it regularly). Support has only just been announced for F10,
so if some builds are being stopped by build erros, you might have to
wait for them to be fixed.
