MythTV already has a compliant UPnP server out of the box. I use it all the
time to play recorded TV shows / videos / music, etc on my PS3. I didn't
have to do anything special to get it working. As already suggested your TV
might be exhibiting the usual Sony magic.

As mentioned in the thread Tortoise linked to, the unfortunately named PMS
(playstation media server) is a pretty good UPnP server and guys are having
success using it with their DLNA TVs. It is a Java app, runs on all three
major OSes, can run headless (e.g. on a server), and does automatic live
transcoding of non-native files if you have enough grunt. However, it won't
do any of the flash sorting that Myth does, or name your recordings
properly.

As an aside, I have been using PMS + mumudvb to watch live TV on my PS3,
alas the PS3 still doesn't support LATM audio so it is still just TV3.
