I now implemented these changes in my python shell for
hdhomerun_config. See at:
https://github.com/hikavdh/hdhr4_scan

I mostly build it for channel scanning to see if I had to update
mythtv. You can compare a fresh scan to an earlier stored one. I might
add code to differentiate between radio, SD and HD channels, but that
would mean opening every channel and would make the current quit long
scan time (15 minutes or more) even longer. However I find the
scanning capabilities of hdhomerun_config significantly beter then
those from mythtv. 

I also will in the future add more playback control functions.
