The record now command is press the R key while watching live TV. If you are wanting a way to watch the videos and manage them then I guess mythTV is better for you than developing a specific app for it. Or using the cat command line. Give pressing R in code a shot and let us know how it goes. -- I have plenty of Gmail invites. Ask me if you'd like one.
