+MythTV is a GPL licensed suite of programs that allow you to build the
+mythical home media convergence box on your own using Open Source software
+and operating systems. MythTV is known to work on Linux and Mac OS X
+(PowerPC and Intel).
+
+You need to create a database before you can run mythtv:
+> mysql -u root -p < /usr/share/mythtv/database/mc.sql
+
+Then run mythtv-setup to configure mythtv
+> mythtv-setup
+
+Detailed instructions for mythtv can be found here:
+ http://www.mythtv.org/wiki/index.php/User_Manual:Initial_Installation
+
+Mythtv requires lame, and optionally can use xmltv (to create the program
+listings if you live outside of North America) and lirc (for IR remote control)
