Hi Ryan,

I've no experience with the firewire recorder but from what I can see 
from the code, it looks like you should be able to alter the recording 
profile(s) for your card in mythtv-setup.  Changing the 'Recording type' 
to 'Normal' to 'TV Only' should cause all non-video, audio or subtitle 
packets to be discarded.

Richard.
