Yes, Youtube videos are just .flv files served to their player app via
normal HTTP.  There are many Firefox add-ons and Greasemonkey scripts
that provide the download link for each video you view.

I use a pretty simple Greasemonkey script that's just called "Download
Video" and adds a yellow bar with a link to download the video at the
top of the page, but if you don't have Greasemonkey or want something
with more options, just visit

https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/browse/type:1

and search for youtube.

As far as MythTV goes, I think you have to convert the .flv files to
MPEG in order to get it to play them on your TV.  mencoder can do
that for you, but I haven't the faintest idea what output settings
would be appropriate for playback on MythTV.
