I tried this, but my xmltv resource (www.tv2.dk) does not update timing
due to late shows etc. I figured the recording server could be modified
to look for pdc codes on a channel which its about to record on, if pdc
is present, find the tag for the show to record (this is just a
combination of the starting time iirc), and wait for the pdc go-code.
When recording, simply look to the pdc code to change. A stop code is
included in the pdc standard, but seemingly most channels just transmits
a new start code...

There's a very exhaustive explanation of PDC here:
http://625.uk.com/pdc/

This may of course have some impact on live-tv prior to recording, which
of-course might limit the use of PDC. Personally however, I use Freevo
mostly for recording and watching recording, and my ordinary tv for
viewing actual live-tv. (Basicly a harddisk-based vcr.. )

I also have a few ideas for implementing time-shifting, since
apparently, this is not yet done ?
