MythTV provides a unified graphical interface for recording and viewing television programs. Refer to the mythtv package for more information.

This package contains only the client software, which provides a front-end for playback and configuration. It requires access to a mythtv-backend installation, either on the same system or one reachable via the network.

A database is also required. The mythtv-database package must be installed, either on the same system, or one reachable via the network.

For a complete installation of all MythTV components, install the 'mythtv' package.
