MythTV is designed for television, and only supports recording from 
cards that use the standard Linux television capture interfaces (V4L2, 
DVB, etc...).  The only form of "radio" currently supported are the 
audio-only DVB-T channels used in the UK.  There is no real reason not 
to support radio, but doing so properly would involve writing new tuner 
types to support new interfaces exposed by radio tuners, and then tying 
it into the same audio-only mode DVB-T radio uses.  That's a significant 
undertaking that no one has yet taken the time to do.

For what it's worth, there seems to simply be very little support for 
radio in Linux in general.  The only project I can find is OpenDAB, 
which only works with a single USB tuner that hasn't been produced since 
2002.
