I do not yet have a box that can run MythNetvision and consequently have not used it but it holds my interest. I do however have one point.... MythTV is primarily about watching recorded TV rather than live, isn't MythNetvision like watching live from the web?
Watching live TV you are interrupted by ads, watching a video stream of the web you can be interrupted with lag.
Would it not be a better option for you to schedule Myth to record your "Netvision" and place it in your recordings for everyone to watch? (you could also have search results in Netvision flagged as already recorded/downloaded or simply redirect the viewer to your HDDs rather than downloading the data again). You could have a separate storage group or just lump it in with the recordings.
Advantages:
*You only download the data once rather than every time someone in the household wants to watch it
*you can schedule the media you want to watch for your off-peak data time (which is usually when you are in bed/at work)
If this feature was ONLY for youTube and similar then I admit, for 5min videos of someone farting the national anthem it's not much of an issue. However with networks making full TV episodes available online I feel it makes more sense to treat the video exactly the same as a TV transmission.
