The newest version of MythTV is out for my fellow Myth users. It has a host of new features:

it also has a munch of improvements for those people who want to connect directly to a cable or satellite box via Firewire.
The binary releases will be out later. I'll check it out when there are binaries in the Ubuntu repos. I'm going to migrate my LVM setup on the backend to the newer storage group setup.
- Added Watch List feature to Watch Recordings listing programs most useful to watch in order to catch up on series and shows you have fallen behind in watching.
- Added support for QAM recording using HDHomeRun device. Requires firmware 21-09-2006 or newer (Note this was also back ported to 0.20.2).
- New official plugins:
- MythMovies: provides show times and cinema listings based on Zip/Post code and a given radius.
- MythZoneMinder: ZoneMinder is a system for monitoring CCTV cameras. It uses a web interface which doesn't work very well on a MythTV only system so the plugin provides a remote friendly interface to some of the functions provided by ZM.
- Added storage groups. This allows multiple recording directories, where each storage group is a list of directories.
- Added auto discovery of MythTV servers/frontends
- Reduced mythfrontend memory consumption by upto 75% depending on theme and resolution.
- requires MySQL 5.0
- Allows multiple recordings with one DVB/ATSC card if the channels are in the same multiplex (Multirec)
- Enhancements for multi channel audio (up-converting stereo, re-encoding to AC3 in time stretch mode)
- Added the ability to continue playing music in the background.
- Added a channel icon download facility to mythtv-setup.
