Umm... that wouldn't work, since if you it in the mythtv module, and the
TV were off, you wouldn't get your recording and you weren't watching
the TV anyway.  Wouldn't it be better if it prompted (a la Tivo) that it
was about to start a recording (a minute early) and gave the option to
cancel the upcoming recording, while defaulting to "record as planned"?
