Has anyone had any success or failures with installing mythtv onto centos4? Even better, has anyone any prebuilt rpms to do this? Looks to me like centos+mythtv is quite an interesting prospect in the always-on single home server environment.

Mine resulted in a failure, as there are many dependencies that isn't packaged for CentOS4 yet. I am sure that if you build everything from source you will get it working, but I opted to download the KnoppMyth CD and do a HDD install from that - and that just worked. I am thinking of building something similar but use CentOS as base, but that is quite long down on my ever-growning todo list...

---- you are probably aware of the pre-built packages by Axel Thimms for FC-3 and it is been reported as one of the best and easiest to install and setup.
enable ATRPMS repository and a simply yum install mythtv-suite
http://atrpms.net/dist/common/mythtv-suite/
I don't see it packaged for RHEL 4 though, RHEL 3 and obviously Fedora
Jarod Wilson's guide is also linked on that page - a very good resource.

Hi, I am now getting interested in this argument and I found really helpful your suggestion regarding ATRPMS (now installing). I was now wondering if anyone could suggest me a good USB2.0 hardware for this purpouse that works well with CentOS4. I am interested in recording from cable tv, and since I will be using a laptop for this, I thought USB2.0 could be the best option.
Thanks, have a nice day
