There's also a massive amount of TV shows available FTA (Free To Air),
a lot of people may not be interested in the content, but there is a fair bit of it that
is really interesting.
There's even HDTV FTA, in our area there are something like 23 channels being
broadcast this way,
you use what looks like an old grid/CB antenna.
Going to other countries content (satellite) FTA may be questionable in some cases, but
even there,
there is a lot of good free (public) content.
If you buy a ton of DVDs, and store them on your media server, and watch them in your own
home,
I think that would be acceptable as well.
I still say conventional TV is dead. internet media, streaming is the future.

Using MythTV or a PVR to time shift is not a problem, but the origional
comment was "setup a NAS device and stream everything from online to their

and streaming online is a crime, as is distribution to others.
"from online to their systems" indicates someone is distributing them to him.
Had it been worded "from on air or live to their system" I would not have
commented.
Sorry, I misunderstood the OP information. Still, I'd like to
understand this better, maybe off-list. I would think streaming content
to a NAS and then later streaming that same content through a home
network to a PC or TV in the house would be allowed.
