Caveat:  I do not have a HDHomeRun so not sure what the logs will look 
like for you.

You should find records like or similar to this one in your Backend Logs:

12-11-13 09:29:03.125 Started recording: "Carter Can": channel 1100 on 
cardid 5, sourceid 1

A simple script will be able to extract and list them for you.
