I've not done much experimentation with it, but I'm currently using revision 
8444.  Whether that's really better or worse than other recent activity, I 
couldn't say.  So far, it seems to be working OK.  8456 adds the ability to 
schedule custom recordings through MythWeb; since that's something I recently 
said would be a good idea, I should probably give that (or a later revision) a 
shot sometime.
