[mythtvnz] Just how cheap could you build a system? Possibly OT.

You get what you pay for, and pretty much everyone on this list chose
MythTV.   So I doubt there's going to be many useful suggestions from the
list members :)

How about you get VDSL with a 5-6 Mbit/sec upload, set up a tunnel from
his home router to yours, and simply stream recordings off your backend to
him?

Caps could be an issue though, so look for an ISP with zero-rated internal
traffic like TCL.
