tvtime does not support recording or playback of recorded streams, and it is unclear to us if this is in the scope of what tvtime should try to accomplish. Many users ask for this feature, but they have very different goals. Some users want a quick way to record small, low-quality clips from television. Some want a high quality recorder for recording shows. Others want to have a full PVR system integrated into tvtime. Currently, we would rather focus on making tvtime the best high quality live TV viewer for Linux, with a clean and consistent user experience. We recommend using mencoder for recording from television, and systems like MythTV or freevo for a PVR system. If you are interested in coding some sort of support for recording in tvtime, please contact us so we can discuss how it might best be integrated into tvtime.
