[plug] mythtv, HDTV card

Mythtv is apparently very popular.  I'm not sure why.  I've had nothing 
but problems trying to install it.

Latest try: expanded tarball for 0.18.1 and followed the instructions.
./configure with options to enable dvb
qmake mythtv.pro

results:  a Makefile link pointing to itself, and /dev/rtc missing so 
now tvtime won't work.

I got the V-Stream Xpert DVB-T card from Jaycar, and found that I had 
mis-interpreted the specs.  It does *not* receive analog broadcast.  It 
does accept analog input from a camera.

I was hoping to use mythtv to watch HDTV.  Oh well...
