In order to write tvwish, I built a small perl library to talk the MythTV
protocol so I could send the command to have myth re-scan the record table.

You could use this as a start to talk the protocol, but you would need to
do a bunch more since you need to provide lots of the info about the program
as an argument to delete_recordings commands.
