Recording lots of random things

Lots of random things are getting recorded. Lots of them are from live tv,
but I don't think all of them are. Using mythtv 0.20, kernel 2.6.18, and
ivtv 0.8.

Hmmm, looks like it's only recording random stuff from live tv. Of course I
can record things that I schedule, but it still records lots of stuff I
don't want from live tv. Anybody seen something like this???

Mythtv keeps a recording of what you view on live TV. You can choose not to
show these recordings in your list of recordings. They are also expired
very quickly, and before all other recordings, so they don't really
get in the way of anything.

Especially if you channel surf a lot you will wind up with a lot of
little recordings but, as Marco said, they cause no trouble and
shouldn't bother you once you understand what's happening.

And of course they can be very useful if your surfing stumbles into
something interesting that you didn't know about in advance, no doubt
the reason this useful feature was created.

Did you watch live TV? If so, then it's normal that what you're watching
gets recorded.
