Someone I know (well.. we know) someone who doesn't
have cable who is looking to set-up a MythTV box,
basically to be a pretty front end for TV shows he has
downloaded off the net. Now, due to legalities I can
NOT recommend that people do that sort of thing, but
for some folks MythTV is interesting even if they
don't have cable/satellite TV.

Well, MythTV on some conventioal distros. (such as
Debian) can be a ROYAL pain in the tail to set-up.
MOST of the big pain issues disappear with KnoppMyth.
