OK, I'm not sure which part you're wondering about (setting up the 
channel or time-shifted game play), so...

To set up the channel, see 
http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/mythtv/users/44731#44731 (but 
instead of selecting "tv_grab_na", choose anything--the MySQL stuff will 
take care of fixing it up after the face).  If you're using SVN, select 
"No grabber" and don't worry about the MySQL stuff ("No grabber" takes 
care of it for you).

Once you've set up the channel, you can test things out and you'll see 
what I mean about time-shifted game play.  :)
