[mythtv-users] Myth Ideas

[and]

MythP2P would be amazing though if it simply enabled me to record 
programs retroactively....

ie. I look for a program in my epg and see that there was a film on 
yesterday that I would love to watch or that my box forgot to record, 
and by clicking a button it fill fetch it from someone else, maybe in a 
kind of bitstream way, so that it spreads the bandwidth. It could even 
be done with an automatically generated and small transcoded 
version.....

I think this would be a killer feature and one that could be done in a 
way that doesn't lead to illegal sharing (apart from the sharing of the 
tv content that I'm sure DMCA would have a problem with anyway..)
