Comment from the TAG review:

Overlap between Media Recorder and Recorder APIs in TV Control -- wondering why we'd need separate use cases. https://github.com/w3ctag/spec-reviews/issues/111#issuecomment-257746605

The parallel with Media Recorder was raised during the TV Control WG F2F at TPAC as well. One of the main differences is that the TV Control API needs the ability to schedule recordings, which the Media Recorder specification does not provide. This could perhaps be achieved using other means though.
