[mythtv-users] mythtv and slingbox streaming from a colo.

[Say It]

Hello,

I have a slingbox at a colocation center connected to
a cable TV source.  I then use the slingbox client
software to view TV from home (ie., no cable TV
available at home).  

I want to put in a myth tv box at home so that I can
record TV shows (hopefully off-hours when there is
spare bandwidth), skip commericals, etc.

What is the best way to do this?

cable TV source: colo/slingbox --> Internet -->
Slingbox Client (MS Windows) --> MythTV -->
Television.

Is the above possible?  I'm not sure how I can connect
the slingbox output into a MythTV box, control channel
changes, etc.  I guess the video out of the MS Windows
machine will plug into the video in of the MythTV box
(linux)?   Any thoughts?

I guess I could get rid of the slingbox and put in a
mythtv box at the colo and then stream the mythtv back
to home to another mythtv box? is that right?  How
well does MythTV stream?  On the slingbox, I seem to
get decent image quality at about 600kbps.  The
slingbox footprint is very small, so I'd prefer to
keep it in the colo.

Any thoughts appreciated.
