So if that's possible, then one could tell Myth to use two tuners on the
HDHR, keeping them locked at all times? Then the DLNA client could use the
one available tuner? That seems feasible to somebody like me who just wants
to watch live tv on his iPad while in the kitchen and has no other solution
at the moment.

I saw that too and I'm not sure. I'm on their mailing list and that's how I
had heard about the new firmware, and the email implied that I could
already get the DLNA streaming, but it's pretty vague and confusing at this
point and I don't know if I want to break Mythtv to find out.
