Recording Profiles
From MythTV Official Wiki

In this section, users can post the parameters they're using and pleased with, so you have something to try out. If you'd like to add an entry here, copy the lines near the top starting at |From and ending at |- to the bottom of the file, before |}, and replace the text items with your values.
