I gave up on MythTV because at the time it crashed frequently and annoyed me. But that was a couple years ago, so maybe it's better now. Also, it could not record from Dish satellite. It can do CableTV, though.
To get over-the-air or cable DTV signals, you need one or more ATSC tuner card like pcHDTV HD-5500 card. More cards means more simultaneous recordings you can do, or background recording while watching another channel.
I have a pair of pcHDTV HD-2000 cards from the same company that work okay, and are earlier predecessors to the HD-5500. Given that I abandoned the MythTV project a while ago, I can sell them to you for $75 each.
