Okay, that's for the quick and dirty auto settings. Why not just make a
recorder program that will record a channel (that you pointed it to), look
if there are any missing frames, adjust and tries again?

Just do it with some common resolutions, in increasing (data rate wise)
order. Use the different codecs. Check CPU-usage, build a table. Use a
binary search algorithm for obtaining the best res/codec/bitrate value.

You are going to leave the MythTV-box on over night for the rest of the
time anyways, so you have plenty of time for automagical tweaking.
