[mythtv-users] Recordings filling disk, not showing up in list

For some reason, my recordings directory seems to to fill up my disk. I
emptied the folder but a few minutes late, it started to fill again. None
of the files show up under recordings, and I have not been recording
anything so the folder should be empty. I cannot figure out where the files
are coming from, or why they are not being deleted automatically by mythtv.
Might somebody be able to shed some light on this?
The directory looks like the following (this is after I cleared it out once,
the files had reach >2 gb each in size sometimes):
mythtv at mythtv /media/recordings $ ls -alh
total 2.5G
drwxrwxrwx 2 mythtv users 4.0K Jan 11 22:08 .
drwxr-xr-x 9 mythtv users 120 Jan 11 19:27 ..

It adds a new one everytime I change the channel, and the longer I leave it
there the larger the file gets. It is as if mythtv is always recording, but
never adds anything to the database. This is becoming a major problem as it
is filling my disk every couple days or so.
