[mythtv-users] does MythTV include DLNA and/or UPnP A/V for watching recorded shows over the network?

want to watch them on the big screen TV which is in a different room (but
which has network connectivity to the PC).

allows you to watch video files which are hosted on the PC on a TV over the

Myth has a built-in upnp server, but it doesn't do any transcoding so your
tv must be capable of playing what mythtv serves up.

The best mythtv experience though is to have a computer running
mythfrontend plugged into your tv.
