No question is stupid if you want an answer :)

Well, I use Kaffeine to record Cable Television. Kaffeine (at least in my use) 
requires the GUI. 

I never looked if there is a possibility to run such a task from the command 
line but this would require setting the right channel and recording time and 
this is damn easier from the GUI.

Besides, I started with GEM on the Amstrad PC 1512 and while I appreciate the 
command line I'm sort of a GUI addict :)
