It would depend on how many capture devices your backend has, and ultimately
your disk I/O capability. Myth is designed to record to disk, and even "watch
live TV" is actually recording and then playing back the captured material.
I'd check into whether you have a legal right to redistribute the material
before doing so.
Myth may not be the best solution for what you describe, as it's designed as a
PVR/DVR, not a distribution system.
I can't recommend a capture device, as I'm familiar mostly with the USA
situation.
