Recording the incoming signal is not the difficult part.  The difficult part
is the management.  Scheduling recordings, storing recordings, deconflicting
recordings given a variable number of tv tuners, receiving and processing
accuarate show scheduling information.  These are non-trivial items which
took the MythTV folks a while to get right.  If we're going to go down this
route, I think it would make more sense to connect to the MythTV backend
(whether remote or on the local machine) and manage recordings that way, but
all in due time.
