Granted.

Unfortunately, I don't anybody who is planning to add such a feature. If 
nobody skilled enough wants to do it, it's just not going to happen.

Yes, it would be possible if they were an access module for El Gato in 
VLC media player, but CPU intensive.

That said, you can get VLC to somehow get the stream from CyTV. From 
their, it should be possible to re-stream it with the VLC and transcode 
it.
