Ok, here's what I'm thinkin, UI-wise:

  -  The 'Fix Scheduling Conflicts' becomes something like 'Edit Scheduled 
Recordings'.  It'll let you do the current selecting which recordings to 
record, and also allow you to set options for a recording, with the options 
being as global as the recording type.  So, that way I can add in 
per-recording quality level settings, and also an option for automatic 
reencodes on completion.

  -  The 'Delete Recordings' becomes 'Manage Recordings'.  Still be able to 
delete things, but also be able to do other things like select a recording to 
recompress and/or burn.  The only problem there is indicating status.  Maybe 
a little task bar can go across the bottom of the screen, shows up when 
you're in any of the Qt dialogs?

I've attached what exists so far.  All it does is display the next 3 hours 
worth of programming, for all the defined channels.  Code structure is 
similar to the existing mythepg.  What I'd really like is if it had basically 
the same functionality as mythepg, and let you select stuff to be recorded, 
maybe do some conflict resolution, etc.  I'll help in any way I can, but like 
I said, my php knowledge level is really low =)  I did do most of that 
script, though, so I've got a whole hour or two of experience.
