Description-en: Personal video recorder application (client)
 MythTV provides a unified graphical interface for recording and viewing
 television programs. Refer to the mythtv package for more information.
 .
 This package contains only the client software, which provides a front-end
 for playback and configuration. It requires access to a mythtv-backend
 installation, either on the same system or one reachable via the network.
 .
 A database is also required. The mythtv-database package must be installed,
 either on the same system, or one reachable via the network.
 .
 For a complete installation of all MythTV components, install the 'mythtv'
 package.
