There is no way to do this currently, but it could be done fairly
easily.

You basically need to copy the IPTVRecorder or FirewireRecorder as a
simple example and fill in the guts of all the methods with calls to
your external binary.  You'll also need to create a channel class for
changing the channel preferably.  You can copy one of the other classes
as a starting point for that also.

Once you get the new recorder and channel classes you also need to
modify the setup screens and tvrec.cpp to support the new classes so
you can take advantage of them.

I think these changes are enough to get your network-based recorders
integrated into Myth's scheduler, etc..
