Off the top of my head, there's three you may be interested in:

MythDora
MythBuntu
KnoppMyth

Depending on your distro of choice. If you like Fedora/RHEL or are more
comfortable with RPM-based distros, MythDora is probably the one you
want.  If you prefer Ubuntu/Debian, then MythBuntu is probably the one
you want.  KnoppMyth was a little behind last time I checked it, but
that may have changed.

Not sure if they support all your hardware, but if anything in
Linux/MythTV does, they're probably what you're looking for.
