To get something to show up, the `recorded` table is really the only one 
you actually need.  To behave properly, you need to add matching entries 
to `recordedprogram` and `oldrecorded`.  You also need to add a dummy 
`videosource` and `channel` to map the recording to.  You need to 
populate seek data in `recordedseek`, and besides the skiplist and 
cutlist, there are a handful of additional bits of information stored in 
`recordedmarkup`.  Those seven should be considered required.

I was adding in `capturecard` and `cardinput`, but you only need the 
channel, not something to record it with.  Any optional cast information 
would be in `people` and `recordedcredits`.  Any banners or backdrops 
would be stored in `recordedartwork`.  Content ratings would get stored 
in `recordedrating`, although that and the previous three should be 
handled by the metadata importer.  Depending on how well integrated you 
want to make it, you could add entries to `channelgroup`, 
`channelgroupnames`, and `playgroup`.
