You can set myth to record a show:
whenever it's on anywhere
whenever it's on a certain channel
whenever it's on at a certain time
just one time

It'll remember that setting and setup recording times when new show 
listings are grabbed with xmltv (which can also be automated). Then you 
just need to go in few days or so and make sure there are no conflicts 
in recordings that are comming up.
