Wow, sounds like a cool project.  But think of the limitations. Let's just pretend
that there was a certain popular NFL game coming up, where most of the units
will be watching it live.  You would need well over 200 tuners! Plus, if they want to
watch it in HD, that's 20 Mbit/sec network traffic to each unit!.  4 Gibit/sec
sustained transfer rate.  You will have the largest server farm of myth servers
every imagined.  Yes, it could do it with the distributed architecture that Myth
provides, assuming there aren't any built-in limitations, but seriously....
