The two are not mututally exclusive.  However that's a read herring
since the software doesn't check to see if the file exists before
showing it to you in the list.  However, using ext3 for storing your
recordings is a bad idea. xfs, jfs or Reiser is a much better choice.

Check to see what recording group you're viewing by hitting the MENU
key in the watch recordings.  Chances are you've somehow set yourself
into a group with no programs in it.
