I'm just thinking out loud, so bear with me...
If you pause live TV it would be saved to a file, right? If not, I
guess you could also do a live recording. Somehow, you manage to get a
file that contains the current stream (obviously delayed by a second or 2).
Could you then view that file *while* its being created?
What about using something like the Quicktime open source server,
Darwin? Perhaps the VideoLAN or FFmpeg projects? Could these be used
the stream the file, or in a module (like a "Serve Live TV Mode" or
something)?
