  Myth is probably the wrong thing - depends on how much
'video on demand' vs Live TV I guess.

  I'm using VLC at work to multicast stream 4 DVB cards and approx 11 
channels onto our LAN using multicast. Using vlc as the client as well, 
selecting the program to watch using the SAP playlist.

  vlc is probably more appropriate for the backend here.

  What you need is to use Myth as a front end to the multicasts, some 
how replacing the tuner code with a multicast listener, then each user 
has their own scheduler, etc and use some sort of NAS possibly for their 
recordings storage.
