I'm no math genius, but wouldn't that be perfect for LiveTV then?  I
would think that would be "minimum requirements" per se to be able to
do it since you've got a 1 min = 1 min "mapping".  I guess you would
theoretically be 2-3 minutes behind actual LiveTV to provide enough
buffer to begin transcoding, but anyone who uses MythTV is already a
good couple seconds (maybe 10-12?), what's an extra couple hundred
seconds ;)
