I looked at doing something similar although I was more interested in simply
changing the names of the profiles to something that was a bit more
meaningful to me. Specifically I wanted a "Auto Transcode" profile to
automatically transcode a DVB recording.

It would appear the names and number of profiles are hardcoded in these
files:

libs\libmythtv\recordingprofile.h
libs\libmythtv\tv_rec.cpp

Changing recordingprofile.h should be enough to add an extra profile I
believe.
