Seems like nearly all the respondents so far build from source code;
which surprises me; I figured most use the packages.

Anyway, I use the prepackaged MythTV bundles because I have a variety
of frontends and I don't have the time deal with recompiling for each
platform.  The risky part is that you have to "hope" that the same
release is available for all the platforms at the same time.  Way back
when I used an XBox as a frontend, this was a major issue.
