furious_tv
furious_tv is a set of tools to take XMLTV TV listings and enable a UNIX system to automatically record programs off of a TV card. It is written in C and uses a SAX parser for maximum speed and efficiency.
Development: Man Pages

furious_tv now has fairly complete documentation in man page format. The main man page is furious_tv and it describes what all of the tools are used for. Most of the tools do not have very complex command line options since no real options are needed.
furious_tv is nearing its first release. The first release will have no front end, but will instead be simply a solid backend for a PVR. If, like me, you wouldn't mind using SQL (with SQLite's command line client) to mark shows to record, furious_tv should perform very well for you. (Although, there has not been a lot of testing, so there may be some bugs)
If you are instead looking for a GUI interface to a PVR, look at something like WebVCR+. furious_tv will hopefully have a GUI in the near future, but I have not started development on one yet. (Feel free to develop one yourself =)
