The packages that come with MythBuntu should be good. If not you
could always try to pull down .20.2 yourself and build it from
source.

I've not had any real troubles playing back HD content on either
.20.2 or the current version of MythTV from the Ubuntu 7.10
repositories (the one that supports Schedules Direct).

Although HD content seems particularly finicky when it comes to
signal quality. Trying to play a show with reception related
issues (bad/low OTA signal) tends to crash the frontend.
