Hello,
I am totally lost when it comes to this program. While i was home for Christmas, my father mentioned running myth tv on his computer (which has linux). I am running windows and couldnt get window's version of myth tv to work, and was wondering if MediaPortal will work in place of myth tv?

Mediaportal will definitely do nearly everything that Myth can do. Are there any specific features that you're curious about?

yes, as a matter of fact i have many questions. but i'll start with this one:

my father is running linux on his computer. he is using myth tv. do i have to have a tv card on my computer for him to transmit tv to my computer? i do not have a tv card, my computer is about 3 years old

For him to stream you live TV, no. You could just watch that stream in something like VLC, depending on what protocol the stream uses.
