Man, I'm starting to think I'm the only person in the world that has problems with 4theRecord. On my cable system, FTR almost never gets an entire show recorded without the tuner backend failing. If you have multiple stations on one QAM frequency, FTR thinks they are the same channel and does some very strange things. And mixing QAM and ATSC is a real pain, as FTR treats the same station on QAM and ATSC and different channels for scheduling and guide purposes.
All that said, when it works, it works really well. If you have only ATSC or your cable company is nice enough to have a separate QAM channel for each broadcast channel, then FTR is definitely worth a look.
