I don't see yet how to set up a
recording schedule, but maybe there's some software around.

If you use a Windows platform, most non-basic versions of Windows 7 come with
Media Center, which both downloads a program guide for free and permits single
episode or series recording of any OTA program. It will also transcode a
recorded program such that it can be burned onto a regular DVD. Takes a while,
but works fine.
