[mythtv-users] Need "life without cable" clarification

Made a family decision to cancel cable... so I'm - for the first time in
20+ years - reentering the exciting world of OTA TV. This means that my
5 tuners (two PVR-500s and a bttv) across three backends are about to
become useless (I'm in California).
I've got a HDTV Wonder coming (and am investigating other OTA tuners),
so I'll be able to play with recording ATSC signals and I've been
looking at options of augmenting OTA with online video sources, like
hulu, espn360, etc.
I read that MythTV (0.24 to be exact - I'm currently running 0.21)
mentions being able to utilize online video sources. So here's what I
need clarified.... am I understanding correctly that for online sources
MythTV just becomes an RSS aggregator and opens a browser or the hulu
desktop for viewing the online videos? Are there any options to have my
MythTV backend download (like "record") online videos when they become
available (if I "scheduled/subscribed" to the "show") for me to watch
later using a frontend?
Thanks for bearing with me.
