I would consider using the MythTV bindings rather than
direct SQL access.

My (vague) recollection is (at least) the python bindings
allow you to determine if a tuner is currently in use
(isRecording), and you can get the list of scheduled
recordings (getScheduledRecordings).

Last I looked, the bindings were not as well documented
as one might wish(*), but perhaps if you can update the
wiki as you find issues.
