I've been having some mail server issues recently with my IP frequently 
changing, so I just now received this.

 >>> import MythTV
 >>> be = MythTV.MythBE()
 >>> prog = be.getUpcomingRecordings().next()
 >>> prog
<Program 'NOVA','2012-07-06 04:00:00' at 0x808c7c460>
 >>> prog.cardid
1
 >>> class CaptureCard( MythTV.database.DBData ): pass
...
 >>> card = CaptureCard(prog.cardid)
 >>> for k in 'cardid', 'videodevice', 'cardtype', 'hostname':
...     print "{0:<15} - {1}".format(k, card[k])
cardid          - 1
videodevice     - 1013FA3F-0
cardtype        - HDHOMERUN
hostname        - mythbe


The MythBE class has methods getPendingRecordings(), 
getScheduledRecordings(), getUpcomingRecordings(), and 
getConflictedRecordings().  Note that only certain recording statuses 
will result in a Program object with a defined cardid.
