[mythtv-users] Feature Idea

[josephc at etards.net]

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
