I've not used Myth but I suspect it is suppose to be able to provide
what you want.

I have an Epia box that has been mothballed for some time (12 months)
that I wanted to make into an "entertainment system" of sorts. I will
get around to it one day. On that note, I'm not sure if I would use
Ubuntu as a base for this system. Ubuntu is an excellent Desktop
distro but I don't think it is really aimed at this usage. I'm
thinking of going with either a very basic debian or gentoo install.
Followed by what I assume to be hours of heart ache getting Myth to
play the game :-)
