I'm sitting here
downloading a few torrents when an idea for a mytTV
feature popped into my head (it's prolly because of the heat).
The idea of combining a media sharing applet into mythTV based on the
torrent model.
In other words, as you're watching a particular TV channel, you become a
seed where others can watch the same channel you're watching. As others
connect to your server to watch the stream, they themselves become servers
which others can connect to, and the video stream would remain intact so
long as the original seed continued to watch a particular station.
I don't know if I'm explaining this well, or if I am, if what I'm thinking
is possible, but if it were, the idea of being able to increase the number
of channels you have available to could be quite exciting.
Just a thought

I agree with what
everyone else posted about this in that it is a really bad idea to open Myth tv
to P2P ‘Cease and desist’ orders. Having said that – this feature
is really similar to the Cybersky.tv software from germany, they have won quite a few
cases in the EU courts recently because they don’t actually cache the
content only pass it on.
Like I said bad idea,
we don’t have the funding to fight these court cases.
Cheers,
Dean
