For those of us that want to start the recording and forget about it, 
that's not a good option.

What I do, is find out the length of the video (2 hours average), go 
into Mythweb, channel 3, select to record it and then use the "End 
Late:  XXX Minutes" option, so if it's currently on a 30 minute show, I 
add "End Late: 90 Minutes" and I forget about it.  Once completed, I 
modify the title, Description, etc in the database.

I've never tried to use the svideo in on my PVR-350, so I have no 
suggestions on that.
