In some cases it uses the same decoding libraries but mythtranscode is its own animal, not a thin layer over ffmpeg. You could do an -re sort of option but there's also the problem that transcoding wants a file to act on and there's no services way to start a live tv recording so you'd have to create something for that. It's all doable but there are more pressing areas and live tv has never been a high priority so there it is.
