Well here is something that Viking1 has be working on and off for a few months. Sadly there is no solution to get mythtv to work straight off a livecd format. Mythtv requires 2 gigs of hd space to function correclty. Open for offers on solutions to that. But what you get here is a uptodate working mythtv-20fixes setup.
With easy installation to your hard drive then all you need to do is run "mythtv-setup" to configure it to your specifications. Cool thing is all dependacies are installed. I have split it up so that you have the mythtv20 livecd without sources about 620mb so it fits nicely onto a cdrom. Then if you would like sources the mythtv20 sources are about 85mb and the 2.6.18.1 kernel&v4l-dvb.cvs sources are about 55mb. You don't need the sources to install to the hard drive.
The mythtv20 livecd has all the dvb drivers you would need just as the vdr-livecd latest releases. Yes its got the genpix-usb drivers for 8psk-turbo hdtv. I don't know how well it will work with a nexus s card. You may need to get the sources and add a few lines in the mythtv20 code to make it work correctly. Besides that it should work for all budget cards same as the vdr-livecd's do.
Installed xtra's include:
* kernel version 2.6.18.1
* mythtv20-fixes version
* NoOneImportants map57 emu and AU fix yeh!
* MPlayer
* Xine Player
* Open Office
* vncserver w/xvnc (Like pc-anywhere; you can connect to your desktop with your windows box; just install vncserver for windows)

Get sources here:
mythtv20sources:
Put in /usr/local/src
hxxp://files.filefront.com/mythtv20_11597tarbz2zip/;6057113;;/fileinfo.html
kernel-2.6.18.1 &v4l-dvb.cvs sources:
Put in /usr/src

Test it out:
1. Burn .iso to bootable cdrom.
2. Boot to it. You may or maynot see a neat mythtv bootsplash at boot up.
3. Xwindows should come up on your monitor when finished booting. If not run this script; type: configX (enter) Then answer the questions best you can.
4. Get the extras type: cd /root/.mythtv (enter) Then type: wget hxxp://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/mythtv/externcam_0.tar.bz2.zip (enter)
5. Decompress it: type: unzip *.zip (enter) then type: tar -xvjpf *.bz2 (enter)
5. Now you can experiment with mythtv and run its setup script. Type: mythtv-setup (enter) Then follow through the normal setup of mythtv. Again since your on the live cd no changes will be pernament. Use your mouse and right click anywhere on the desktop to see the desktop menu.
Install to hard drive:
From desktop right click anywhere on the desktop with your mouse to bring up the menu and choose how you want to install to your harddrive either to an IDE drive or to a SCUSSi drive. Select how and then follow the setup of your hard drive. The rest will be automatic and when it reboots remember to remove the liveCD.
From console type: cd remaster (enter) you will see 2 scripts hdinstall.sh and hdinstallscussi.sh. Choose how and type either: sh hdinstall.sh (enter) for and IDE drive or sh hdinstallscussi.sh (enter) for a sussi drive. Same as above configure your drive and the rest will be automatic. Remember to remove the liveCD when it reboots.
Remember after the hard drive install to run:
1. configX (If you did not have xwindows at first or you want xwindows to be set to your exact video card)
2. cd /root/.mythtv ; hxxp://www.geocities.com/vlivecd/mythtv/externcam_0.tar.bz2.zip ; unzip *.zip then tar -xvjpf *.bz2
3. mythtv-setup ( To set your dvb card and to scan for your channels; also make sure where you see: sasc you change that to: sasc --lib /root/.mythtv/externcam_0/lib
