We need a wrapper program that provides us with the ability to do the following things (from a main menu)
Archive recorded shows to CDR/CDRW/DVDRAM
Play Recorded shows (From hard disk or prompt for the media!)
Set record times for recording shows - use tvguide.com as a source for showtimes. A program
that accesses tvguide.com for showtimes is:
tvguide.com perl program
Be fully configurable to used preferred recorder/player.
