The only issue that I saw with ATrpms and MythTV was that the transcode rpm wasn't available for i386 on F8 (but it is available for F9.i386, F9.x86_64 and F8.x86_64). Thus it appeared to be an oversight on Axel's part and he could easily build the transcode rpm for F8.i386. You could also easily build it because he has the source rpm available. That's why I told you to check with Axel about why the F8.i386 package for transcode wasn't already built...it seems clear to me that he overlooked it. If you are going to use both Livna and ATrpms, you could probably use the yum-priorities plugin and assign ATrpms a higher priority so that in a conflict, his packages would prevail.
