I was not aware that you could record from a Roku,  Would you mind sharing?

Thanks,

As far as controlling the Roku goes, take a look at
https://pypi.org/project/roku
For the recording part, you would need to figure out how to capture hdmi
audio/video. Since the Roku employs HDCP that can be a trick. MythTV does
not condone the use of DRM avoiding devices, so you will need to look
elsewhere for advice.

Thanks for the input, I do not own one just because of that.

Thought maybe things had changed,
