In theory, this is available in 0.28, but it requires specific theme
support, and I don't know which, if any, themes showed the "Recording
Input" element.

If you are using the 'master' version of MythTV, then you can just hit
'I'(nfo) [twice] with the recording selected, to see the recording input.
In 'master' this is no longer theme dependent.

If you want to use it with 0.28, and your theme of choice does not show the
info, you could try editing that theme's htmls/progdetails_page2.html file,
and add a line like:

    <h1>%RECORDING_INPUT_LABEL%</h1> <p>%RECORDING_INPUT%</p>

I believe that should work, but I have not tested it.
