If you truly don't have any free time, I'd consider looking into other options
besides MythTV. I love my setup, but I do consider it a hobby more than an
appliance. I'd still encourage you to try it out, but I think you should go in
with the expectation that you'll need to spend some quality time with it,
especially at first.
