I don't have a mythbox handy just now but isn't it true that the backend uses a fifo when viewing live tv? If the name of that fifo were predictable then could it be linked from another system via a network block device? http://www.it.uc3m.es/ptb/enbd/ The frontend would need some changes to use a nbd, true, but would they be that major? -- "We are here on Earth to fart around.
