[mythtv-users] Watch myth on cell phones

[Kichigai Mentat]

     Because of its continued use as a heating duct sealant, duct  
tape now surrounds us. Time and exposure to high temperatures slowly  
breaks duct tape down, and tiny particles drift into ducts where they  
are eventually carried into the air. And so, duct tape is like God.  
It's everywhere.

Well, what about streaming? I'm no expert, but do you really need to  
load the entire file to local storage before playing it?  
Theoretically, the V3 RAZR is capable of playing streaming media  
(that's one of the hyped features, at least), so why not just rig  
MythTV to hook up a stream? Depending on your system configuration,  
you could pre-transcode or transcode the video on the fly.
