That *is* streaming (using HTTP) ;-).

The problem is that the player probably won't be able to play the file, 
because the file format is custom to MythTV. Which means you need either 
a MythTV-aware or -specific client anyways or transcode in realtime on 
the server or transcode once.

A MythTV client for Windows seems to be a FAQ, search the archive.
