You can download a Knoppix based distro with mythtv installed. I found 
it a while back..

"This project looks promising. It's an attempt to make MythTV easier to 
install by supplying it with Knoppix. AFAICT you install the backend on 
your server and it's even possible to run the frontend from the Knoppix 
CD on a different machine. Unfortunately the recommended hardware spec 
is well beyond any of the machines I own. That said, I've downloaded the 
ISO so I'll certainly give it a go!"
