MythTV is a lot more than a veiwer. What are you looking for? If all
you want is to view the mpeg stream from an ivtv card on your computer

mplayer /dev/video0

should do. If you want a tivo like box, MythTV is the best option.
There are several options in between but I am not very familiar with
them since I have used MythTV since 2004 and it works well with my 3
ivtv cards and my 1 digital card.
