I’m a longtime Mythtv and DirecTV user. I started using Mythtv
with HDHomeRun and HVR-2250 to offload my DirecTV 2 channel
recording limit by recording all OTA local channels on Mythtv and
using the DirecTV DVR for recording Satellite only channels.

She can work DirecTV, so I think she will be able to work Roku
and Kodi. But it sure would be nice to get it to just the Roku.

One stumbling block I am aware of is that OTA recordings are native
MPEG2 format, while most set-top boxes such Roku, if they support
something like UPNP, natively support MP4 or H.264 or whatever. <br>

I think you can meet at least this requirement by transcoding all
your MythTV records to MPEG4. <br>
<br>
You would lose commercial detection / skipping, but maybe the
set-top box you "connect" to MythTV allows skip ahead by 30 seconds,
so maybe not an issue.<br>
