Comment(by nigel):

 Good idea!

 Just a few problems ... the backend did this for me:
 {{{
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.020 TVRec(1): Changing from None to WatchingLiveTV
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.022 TVRec(1) Error: Problem finding starting channel,
 setting to default of '3'.
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.022 ChannelBase(1): IsTunable(Television,3) Requested
 non-existant input 'Television':'-1'
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.041 ChannelBase(1) Error: Setting start channel '3'
 failed,
                         and we failed to find any suitible channels on any
 input.
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.042 TVRec(1): HW Tuner: 1->0
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.056 LoadFromScheduler(): Error, called from backend.

              title()
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.168 TVRec(1) Error: Need DEMO recorder, but compiled

 2010-07-20 22:22:43.168 TVRec(1) Error: Failed to start recorder!
                                   Tuning request was Program(no)
 channel(3) input(Television) flags(LiveTV,)

 2010-07-20 22:22:43.171 Finished recording : channel 4294967295
 2010-07-20 22:22:43.173 TVRec(1): Changing from WatchingLiveTV to None
 }}}
 which is a mixture of me not creating any channels for the initial
 "tuning" to use, and some platforms not supporting IVTV (because they
 don't have V4L). The former could be worked around with extra code, and
 the latter by taking DEMO outside of the USING_IVTV guard in
 TVRec::SetupRecorder() ?
