I got mythbackend and mythfrontend working on a RPi4 4GB running from a
SSD using both Raspberry Pi OS (aarch64) and Ubuntu 20.04 aarch64.

However, to my eyes it made no difference. To me the RPI4 is still a
marginal frontend for USA OTA mpeg2 video.  If the scene motion
increases the picture gets more jerky. Maybe at some point ffmpeg on
aarch64 can make improvements.

So for now for a cheap system but great video quality, I'd pick RPI4
4GB, USB3 SSD, with HDHR Quatro tuner for the backend and FireTV 4K for
the frontend.

I haven't been following closely- does the RPI4 need the additional mpeg2 licence purchased / enabled or is that only earlier versions?
