Two things:
1) If the patent was just granted, the chances are it was filled quite a
while ago. Possible before mythtv got started.

2) But, really, this has nothing to do with MythTV. If you read the patent,
it talks about a server at a cable head-end that streams content over a
network to individual homes.

I don't think what mythtv is doing is anything like what Microsoft has
patented.
