I am involved in a networked ATSC tuner (dual tuners, 100baseTX

The video stream is UDP based and it has a TCP control channel. Two

I have just recently started playing with MythTV and I would like to
add
MythTV support.
One approach could be to use a user-space app to receive the TS and
create a loopback driver so it looks like a normal video capture
device.
Another approach would be to add support directly to MythTV. This would
avoid looping through the kernel and would be easier for end-users.
Any thoughts?
I am quite happy writing the code for it, or would be able to arrange
samples if anyone was interested in helping out.
why not just install a remote MythTV backend on the machine with the
ATSC tuners?
The tuner is an embedded network device (like a home router) and it is
not running a *nix style OS.
It might be possible to add functions to the device to help MythTV,
but it can't run the MythTV backend.
And, anyway, a lot of people have been asking for support of IPTV, which
sounds like it would be very similar (identical?) to the UPD approach
you're using, so if you code it up (or even a good starting point for
the IPTV guys), you'll make a lot of people happy.
