Mythexport was what I used to do exactly this recently.  I settled on
Downcast as the iPad app to hand the RSS feed as it displayed the recording
data (title/description) better than the apps I tried before it.
 Completely OT but I also got a case (griifin I think) to strap the iPad to
the headrest of the car so that it could be seen from the back seat.  Great
for saving sanity on longer journeys.
