</div>You forgot to include the part where you *propose a better solution*. I'm<br>
all ears!<br>

There are several plugins for Myth that will let it advertise shows via RSS, and there is at least one project-that-shall-not-be-named that I know of that will let you pull rss'ed videos directly into Myth. The project is now dead but it was at least a usable proof of concept.<br>
<br>It's a feasible option and coule be integrated directly into Myth's front end or as a standalone GUI with a nice UI that could plop the shows into Myth. It's just such a grey area as far as legality and copyright infringement that nobody will officailly produce such a project. <br>
<br>How fast is your VPN and how far away is it? Could you get away with port forwarding across the router / firewall?<br></div></div><br>
