A checkbox is an interactive control. It is intended to be focused and clicked 
to toggle an option.

I don't see how it's suitable to be used here. Simply displaying whether a 
condition is true or not should use a statetype. The images or text that you 
use in the statetype are upto you, it could even be styled to look like a 
checkbox although that would likely cause some confusion.

It wouldn't be hard to create a new popup help page for mythvideo. The one in 
Watch Recordings is currently unfinished, but any basic popup/screen could be 
used as a guide to create it.
