Adding TV shows to be recorded from my OTA tuner?

[pshanew]

No, this feature does not exist; you can only schedule new recordings for items in the EPG. There are multiple feature requests which might address it, if implemented. Here are two popular ones:

[Feature Request] [DVR] Create recording for program not in EPG

Allow the search to provide a match a user can select for recording regardless of that programs pressence in the EPG. Use case: New series to premier in the fall but it’s still the spring. Since I saw the trailer today I want to create a schedule for when it airs. Then I don’t have to keep tracking the news to find the premier date and create a calendar event to create the schedule. Similar to but without the mysql syntax: https://www.mythtv.org/wiki/Custom_Recording

Smart Recording by keyword

Could you please add the ability to record shows automatically by keyword, as per eyeTV smart recordings. Using rules to combine different requirements to be met, such as recording any show that contains “Cycling” and only record one of the shows, preferably the HD version, if there are multiple copies of the same show playing on different channels at the same time. thanks
