I installed mythbuntu a couple of years ago. It was so much the opposite
of "just works" that, to this day, both me and my wife record by setting
the Yes receiver to automatically switch to the right station (via the
usual "order a viewing of a show"), while independently telling the
computer to record at the same time. The script used literally does
little more than "at starttime cat /dev/video0 > program.mpg; at
stoptime killall cat". In fact, the only other thing is loading a bunch
of settings to the encoder via v4l.

Now, if someone has a script for setting up mythtv with Yes and
configuring the blaster, I'd love to have it. I got stuck at the EPG
stage and never got past it, and frankly, we're kinda used to our
existing system, stone aged though it undoubtedly is.
