I too am trying to do this. I've successfully run an experimental
setup using Debian Etch and a Nova-T 500 Dual DVB-T tuner. I could
scan, watch and record TV with no problem. Did not try a long running
test. I'm currently building the "production" setup which will replace
a 0.20 server with an IVTV tuner. I'll probably wait some time
before retiring the old server :-)
No real problems, but a lot of small issuess a long the way. I did
choose to run mysql and mythtv in the same DomU.
