MythNetvision is intended for on-demand content, something for which a
channel listing and scheduled recording make no sense for. For the
purpose you describe, MythTV has a (fairly undocumented) Import
Recorder. This can record from a specific file, or can trigger an event
which would subsequently run an external recorder program.
