I am in quite the same situation. I have an AMD 1700+, 1 gig ram, as TV-out. 
As a window manager I´m running xfce 4. It does not eat memory and it worked 
fine with both 256 and 512 meg ram.
As player I´m useing kmplayer with support for both mplayer and xine so I can 
use both engines. Works perfect.
Though I do not have any experience of MythTV, I´ve recon I don´t need it as 
my video card only have TV-out. The only problem I had was the infamous blue 
borders when playing movies in fullscreen, but putting this '/usr/bin/xvattr 
-a XV_COLORKEY -v 66048' in .xinitrc did the trick. First you must emerge 
xvattr.
Oh, and yes ofcurse, it is running Gentoo. :)

Best regards,
Andreas Karlsson
