this is one thing I miss from BeyondTV. BTV is a zap2it customer and I can login a BTV TV EPG page, select a show and say I want to record 1 episode, all episodes, or all new episodes. The BTV SW will periodically auto download the remote recording. zap2it has support for Tivo but you need a Tivo account. I think tvguide.com has some directtv support.

You can sort of do this with www.titantv.com. If you setup an account you can select a show and download a "program.tvpi" file to record the show. The file looks like xml. They also mention supporting PVRs like hauppauge, RedButton Linux Live, see "Related Links" on bottom of page.
