[mythtv] Suggestion: Crash Recording / Audio only recording

I'd like to see this, too.  My old VCR used to have a feature that
would record the current channel for 15 minutes from now when pressed
once.  Each subsequent press added 15 minutes to the recording time.
Handy if you want to record something in a hurry.

I might do this myself, when I finish the other things I want to add
first.

Hmmm.  Whilst I'm thinking about it, how about VideoPlus as a way of
programming?

I have a Hauppauge WinTV/FM card.  Being in the UK but only having
terrestrial TV, I'm rather tempted to add the functionality to record
from the FM input.  I need to look into the kernel module requirements
first though.
