First tried Knoppmyth only to get a lime green screen on all TV playback. It
appears to be a driver issue. Next, loaded Fedora Core using Jarod's
documentation. The system was to run as a frontend only. Playback was really
really bad.

yeah I bought one too.  It's a dog.  I got mythfrontend running on it
(Mandrake, compiled myth from source) and it's all jerky and sound is
choppy.  Not usable.
