 	Yes, but if you're using the same machine for MythTV currently, 
how will you guarantee that you won't have a tuner conflict?  The point of 
using mythtv to record is that you can set up whatever profile you want 
easily (pick resolution, bitrate, etc), and have Mythtv scheduler know 
about it.  If you've got more than one tuner, it can still record 
something else, rather than get confused when an input that should work is 
busy.

 	I think that "schedule-less" video sources would be a 
not-that-unusual thing to want to have.
