This is a fragment from something else I use, and it's more that
what you need. You could remove the getRecordersList and only
check isRecording for the specific recorder you're having
trouble with.

#!/usr/bin/env python

from MythTV import MythBE
import sys

try:
     be = MythBE()
except:
     print 'Unable to connect to the backend'
     sys.exit(1)

freeRecorders = be.getRecorderList()

for recorder in freeRecorders:
     if be.isRecording(recorder):
         print 'Recorder {0} is recording'.format(recorder)
