These are some good ideas! Do you know if mplayer will play from a
webcam device?
I am in the process of getting a webcam to play with and while I can't
speak for MythTV, I would like to add features like this to Freevo.
Something like this could be done with some minor hacking probably for
either project.

So that when I'm watching tv in the basement and the doorbell rings, I can switch
channels to my webcam channel and so who it is!!
Maybe with picture-in-picture, the webcam can be motion activated to pop-up a pip
of the webcam!
