Backporting the ExternalRecorder stuff is possible.  It does not make any
schema changes, so would not break anything.  It is a little larger change
than we normally like to backport, but I could probably do it.

I have been thinking about the HD-PVR2 situation.  The ExternalRecorder API
would need to be extended to fully support the functionality of the
HD-PVR2, and I do plan on making those API changes.  I have limited time to
work on it, though, so it will probably be at least a month before I can
get that finished.
