Thanks - this sounds like the answer I need. From what I can tell, any
device can be pushed to or pulled from, yes. It would be nice to use
the TVs interface though. Outside this, there will be no OSD for the
interface, so it would be pretty useless if one has to switch between
one input for the video display of the myth box to the other input for
the HD transport stream just to get the file playing.
I'll see what I can dig up on this, and let y'all know.

Is there any ability (now or planned) to use a mythTV server as a HAVI

basically a device control protocol that some TVs use to control and
transport MPEG streams.
AFAIC This not in anyone's development want-to-do list. However,
MythTV does know how to record from other HAVi devices via the
"Firewire" recorder.
My particular HDTV (a mitsubishi) has the ability to record to
compatible devices over firewire. The MPEG data and control data are
sent over the interface, and as such the TV controls the transport of
the recording device, all seamlessly through it's own remote control
with on-screen-displays created by the TV and all.
You might be able to do this the other way around, by having MythTV
control the TV. Currently control of only a few HAVi cable boxes have
been implemented in MythTV, but your TV might act like one of them.
You may want to try it and report back to everyone about whether it
worked.
