Where do you want to stream it?  If it's over the Internet your going
to need to transcode it down.  Otherwise it will take hours to
download a show to watch.  If it's on your local network I would
suggest looking into the windows player
(http://www.sudu.dk/mythtvplayer/).  I'm using this more and more.

I did some playing around with flash transcoding recently (I call it
Mythtube) which play very well over the Internet.  here's a discussion
about that:
