The "Import Recorder" offers a potentially simple route to talk to
external USB tuners. There was a user last year who was doing that
with an Hauppauge HD-PVR on OS X. He was using it with a command
line program called HDPVR Capture (commercial, developer wants $30).
Unfortunately, he found that program wasn't very stable--crashed
every 24 hours or so.
Still, one wouldn't need to write a full-fleged driver...just a
single-purpose command line utility to change channels, record, etc.
BTW, about the only documentation I can find on the Import Recorder
is the commit message:
https://code.mythtv.org/trac/changeset/65bcb3938928fd07efb314c32d1e4e0984212c94/mythtv
I think I'll at least make a stub page in the wiki...
