Slight correction: with the 0.25 release this is well inside the focus of MythTV software. The new "http live streaming" (HLS) feature takes care of converting TV and video to a streamable form. The decent part depends on your outgoing bandwidth. What's left for you is to arrange outside access, advisably through a VPN, and to create some sort of web-based content browser to let clients see what's available and kick off streaming jobs and so forth.

There are a number of great features in 0.25 but that one in particular made me get up and applaud, take off my hat, bow in the direction of wherever, etc
