Well, this won't answer the problem of programming the tuner,
but get a timer and a reel-to-reel audio deck.  These take 3600'
tapes (on a 5" reel--the more expensive ones take 7" reels and
hence even more), which is enough for 3 hours of recording at 3.5ips.
Just leave the tuner on, or hook it to the same timer.

We record a 3-1/2 hour show of soundtrack music every Sunday at 5AM by
using the 1.75ips speed.
