MythTV
MythTV adalah sebuah Digital Video Recorder dan home media center hub. Kira-kira alternatif dari Windows Media Center atau Tivo yang free dan open source. MythTV di mulai tahun 2002 oleh Isaac Richards untuk memperoleh TV box yang lebih baik dari pada digital cable box dari kabeltv. Melalui komunitas open source terus berkembang menjadi alat yang sangat powerfull untuk menonton dan merekam acara televisi. Dengan plugin arsitektur-nya, akhirnya mentransformasikan MythTV menjadi home media center suite yang mampu untuk memanage personal photo, video, dan koleksi musik, termasuk untuk update cuaca, ZoneMinder home security system, dan masih banyak lagi.

MythBackend
The backend server application runs the core "behind the scenes" functionality for MythTV. The bulk of this is taken up by scheduling and recording your TV shows, but also includes keeping your TV listings up to date, managing the database, and performing routine maintenance on any files generated in the recording process. Backend servers are also responsible for streaming recording files to any remote frontends that do not have direct access to them.
Having a separate backend application allows ambitious users to split their MythTV setup between different locations best suited to each task. For instance, a powerful (i.e. large and noisy) server to host recording files and hardware, hidden away in a closet, and a minimal (i.e. small and quiet) frontend machine kept next to the TV.
MythFrontend
The frontend client is the human interface to MythTV. This is where you watch TV, listen to music, etc. Each frontend communicates with one or more backend servers in order to determine which recorded shows are available to be watched, or which TV tuners are available to watch live TV.
In addition to this, the frontend also provides access to system status, the TV listings guide (so you can schedule new recordings), upcoming shows that will be recorded, and much more. If you install plugins like MythMusic and MythVideo (so you can watch a DVD or listen to music), you will also see these listed in the frontend. As you can see from the table of contents for this guide, there are many plugins to choose from.

MythTV is maintained by Isaac Richards, who maintains loose leadership and guidance over the dozens of other developers who each work on one or more pieces that make up the software suite.
