[mythtv-users] Time until next recording

[nate s]

my first thought is that you may be able to parse this off mythweb,
though I'd bet there's a more direct way.  For seeing if the capture
card is currently in use, I'd think fuser /dev/video# would work.

Where is the recording schedule stored anyways?  If it's in the
database, you might be able to get to it like that.
