So is anyone doing this yet? It would be a great feature as I suspect that a good proportion of TV's which are sold nowadays have DLNA functionality - all the TV's in my home have it. This would mean there would be no need for several rather expensive clients.

I'm going to experiment with few things tomorrow - I saw this interesting page, which shows each channel on a TV tuner as a DLNA file which would be awesome:

http://www.homemultimedianetwork.com/Guides/How-to-stream-media-and-Live-TV-to-an-Xbox-using-Nero-MediaHome.php (half way down)

Thats using Nero MediaHome and an Xbox, but it shows that it's possible. I will also test out Servio and TVersity.

EDIT: I got this to kind of work pretty easily but it's not perfect. I installed Servio (free) and simply entered the Mediaportal Stream url into the Library>Online section in the Servio console settings. I can then selected the stream on my TV's DLNA page. I've only tested it on one TV (people are sleeping in the rooms with the other TV's!) but the TV I have tested appeared to have no deinterlacing and also the picture was breaking up. I imagine that this TV has the slowest processor of all our TV's, so I'll test it again tomorrow on the more powerful TV's upstairs. It gives no options to select channels and when I open the stream, it starts from where the server was turned on, but it can be fast forwarded so that it's live.
