Better approach, use the one that ships with your Myth (i.e. the -fixes 
one) as Kevin suggested, and use:

myth_upcoming_recordings.pl --recordings -1 \
                            --no_show_scheduled \
                            --heading 'Recording Conflicts' \
                            --no_conflicts_message 'No Conflicts' \
                            --plain_text

And, look at --help output for --text_format if you want customized 
formatting.  No need for html2text, and you really need to specify 
--recordings as -1, in case you have more than 5 conflicts.
