This is nothing to do with myth really (as you acknowledge). Also it
is not a PVR system as there is not recording in what you propose.

FWIW I have expreimented with dvbstream, which will tune in a DVB
multiplex and multicast it via rtp on your LAN. It worked fine,
although I was only playing.

Also VLC can multicast to your LAN, including already recorded/ripped material.

However I have no need of any of that, I use mythtv as designed and it
works well.
