True. I've managed to do it as a manual recording by binding an aux input to a "bogus" channel. It never quite worked the way I thought it should, however. IIRC I couldn't watch that "channel" in livetv... I could only set a manual recording and then watch it once it started. It was quite a PITA.Oh, I agree it would be useful, but since you are going to personally be there for the recording (ie. folks were thinking of it as a "manaul recording now") a simple visit to the tuner status page of mythweb or mythtv will tell you that the tuners are free and for how long.
Notice I'm not whining that it doesn't do it... merely suggesting that it would be nice. If I had the time (stupid Ph.D!), I might plink away at it, but right now I don't. Everyone has a priority on what they think is most important.It's a hard choice actually. There is a push to make tools like MythTV "do everything" -- and that's particularly important when you put them in front of people who would find the suggestion of running a video recording program or catting the /dev/video0 as out of their experience. But no program can do everything, even all your a/v needs, and so people prioritize.
That's the blessing/curse of open-source. You want it to everything. Fortunately, it's usually doable.
