I don't use mythtv - I could never figure out how to get it working!
I have cable tv which plugs into a video capture card. When the script is called it records whatever channel is on at the time.
It would be possible to connect to an aerial instead. In which case you would need to determine the channel frequencies, etc. see the link in my previous post for details. You would then have to modify the script to include the channel frequency. In effect, having a seperate script for each channel.
All you would need to do then is to set the recording times with cron.
vlc only runs when the script is called and is closed afterwards.
