As far as controlling the Roku goes, take a look at
https://pypi.org/project/roku
For the recording part, you would need to figure out how to capture hdmi
audio/video. Since the Roku employs HDCP that can be a trick. MythTV does
not condone the use of DRM avoiding devices, so you will need to look
elsewhere for advice.
