MythTV is really simple to install on Ubuntu. I am quite happy to help by email and I don't even need sustenance. If you can dedicate enough interested people to a WLUG meeting, perhaps the new committee should organise one of these. Feedback we have received is split between people who want no hands-on meetings and people who want a whole heap more.
