I would think the cost of deploying mythtv in this scenario would be
prohibitive anyhow... Unless you developed a plugin for the *regular*
system that only starts mythtv when a PPV is requested.. Otherwise
you are talking about a mythtv fe at every head-end...
I would really love the scalability, but Im afraid that if mythtv ever
turned down this road, it would cripple the users that have/do enjoy
it for what it is currently.
