[mythtvnz] New to Myth TV and would like your opinion

[Nick Rout]

I think that for me knoppmyth has been the best, but the current
version does not have 0.21 and has an older kernel.

You can update it to 0.21 yourself (it has all the compiling tools,
headers etc) but the lack of the rt2x00 wireless driver (which is now
on kernel 2.6.24) is annoying for me. Even the "any day now" 0.21
version of knoppmyth will only have kernel 2.6.23 so I am indecisive
about where to go with my mythbox and its shiny new 750G drive.

mythbuntu does some (IMHO) dumb shit, like only installing one
partition (with myth you should seriously put all your media on a
separate partition to facilitate updating), and it buries the data in
/var/lib/mythtv (IIRC the path correctly).

On the other hand having repositories with regularly update myth is a bonus.
