Such a user job would certainly not be likely to ever make it into MythTV's
repository.  Decrypting in this way would almost certainly be a DMCA
violation, and thus would not be welcome in the official code tree.  While
you guys may not be in the USA, a large number of the developers (and users)
are, and we are not likely to be seen publicly supporting something that is
likely to be ruled a felony in the USA.  Like it or not, the DMCA is in
effect here.

Now, if you guys make your own script to do *whatever* that will run under
Linux, there's no technical reason you wouldn't be able to use it as a user
job from MythTV.  Just be aware that that script is completely your
invention, and your responsibility.  The only support you will be afforded
is to make sure that whatever has been configured actually gets launched
from the user job queue.  Past that, it's completely hands-off.
