I tried dd
dd if=img.iso of=/dev/sdb1

It copied the image to the USB stick but it was not bootable.

I have found another way around my problem, for now using ubuntu, but I
do not think it will last.

I am trying to find a stable MythTV platform.  LinHES seem like a useful
alternative.

http://www.linhes.org/projects/linhes/wiki/Install_LinHES makes the
suggestion to use dd.
