Well - it's not that hard really.

I've got 3 tuners installed on my server. These are all exposed to my container by the DEVNODES parameter. Basically I expose all the nodes in /dev/dvb (in the xxx.conf file).

I've installed a container with ubuntu 8.10 minimal openvz template, and then run apt-get install mythtv-server.

After that I install Freenx in the container, and connect to it to run mythtv-setup. Make sure the /dev/dvb/* are rw to the mythtv user. (Can also be done without freenx; if you're running X on another pc. (I'd love a text-based mythtv-setup!!))

I go through the setup, scan for channels on all cards and open the backend for remote access. (Set ip to real ip (not localhost), set pin to 0000).

As clients I use pc's with XBMC atlantis -> www.xbmc.org. (Native myth - support)

I have 2 clients running windows and xbmc, one running linux + xbmc and an xbox running xbmc. I also use mythtvplayer on my laptops. Currently working on getting easy access to video / livetv from my PDA and mobile.

I use mythtv as my only source of livetv - and sto schedule recordings.

As promised - I'll make a true howto; but it's gonna take some time. Small annoyances like work, wife and children tend to take up much of my time. Smile
