Is there any way for one complete Myth system to talk to another and
transfer the requested movies or music in the background fr later
viewing..?
AFAIK there's no mechanism in place for 'requesting' movies and music like that and the DSL is too slow for on-demand viewing over the network, especially if you're doing HDTV...
I've been thinking about something similar between home (10mbps fiber) and work (3mbps fiber) where I have DVB-T access at home but no TV reception at all at work, 500GB storage in the home server and 1.2TB at work. I'm leaning towards just having a frontend at work and the backend at home and replicating some of the smaller media files like music between the sites with rsync or unison.
Since I suspect money isn't a limiting factor in your case, the easiest way to solve your problem might be to just build two storage arrays and replicate them and the MySQL databases, effectively creating two identical systems. But you'd need to have the same cable subscription in both locations since both Myths would try to record the same shows. Not really a perfect solution, I'm afraid.
OT: This sounds like the kind of feature that might be worthwhile to put in a commercial MythTV Pro version - it's going to be a lot of work to implement properly and pretty few people will have a use for it but those who do might be willing to pay for the functionality.
