There are two different ways to install Mythtv.
 
 
 
1. From an Automated live cd install using [http://mysettopbox.tv/knoppmyth.html knoppmyth] or [http://linpvr.org/ minimyth]
 
 
 
2. The D.I.Y. way using a guide, [http://www.mythtv.org/modules.php?name=MythInstall official install guide] or use a HOWTO for different [[Linux Distros]].
 
 
 
[http://www.mythtvtalk.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=143 Link to "Tvcards work with linux"] also lists mythtv compatible cards.
 
 
 
If you are having trouble, try:
 
* Searching the [http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/ Gossamer-Threads mailing list archives]. Gives access to the development, CVS commit and users mailing lists with a forum-like layout.
 
* Subscribing to the [http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-users/ myth-users mailing list] and ask your question there.  There is also a [http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-dev mythtv-dev] developers mailinglist and a mail digest for [http://www.mythtv.org/mailman/listinfo/mythtv-commits new commits] against the code.  From those pages you can subscribe and/or view archives that can be sorted by date and thread.
 
* View [[MythTv Errata]] on this Wiki, which contains a short list of known MythTV bugs and workarounds.
 
 
 
When you've found a solution that worked it would be nice if you added it somewhere on this site to contribute back to the community. Even just linking to the mailinglist archives with a little description would help; search engines will index it and will bring up the correct results earlier in their listings.
