As implied by the ticket's being marked "invalid" due to it's being an 
"Enhancment request without code attached," this is more appropriate for 
the mythtv-users list.  There we would have said, "Have you checked out 
MythStreamTV?  It's web-based, but it might meet your needs, depending 
on the capabilities of your qcif/cif device."
