Also! :-)
I mean the backend could be recording one channel or another all the
time (just like perlpodder searching for keywords and/or using a default
channel) and keep them in the same way as the WLive TV (that I watched)
kind.
Then, if the show is interesting enough, I could move it to the
`recorded` status and keep it for a while.
(still looking to get that myth rename perl script running, it needs
MythTV.pm...)

OK. No network here between back and front.

OK. Please ket me know about the always recording thing.
