Nope, I'm recording ATSC HD & SD so I have to transcode. I want real
time because I don't want to choose which shows to transcode nor do I
want to transcode ALL the shows.

Currently LAN but internet (with authentication) as well when I can
get it working. I've got rtsp working with VLC Stream & Convert but
just not a good way to choose which show.
