I'm coming late to this thread but has someone suggested configuring  
an input for the PVR card's RCA inputs and then using that input's  
channel change script to do the recording? You could then schedule  
manual recordings against that input. It's a little hacky but no code  
changes are required and, since the RCA and tuner inputs are known to  
be mutually exclusive, it achieves the effect of reserving the tuner  
for the duration of the radio program. You could even have a post- 
recording job that removed the empty entry from myth's recorded table.
