No.  Why would you want to do this, anyway?  That's like telling the 
Linux kernel not to use your RAM to cache hard drive reads...  If you 
have the hardware, you should make it available for use.  If your 
machine happens to be recording three things, and you really need to 
watch LiveTV (although, I really don't see why anyone would ever watch 
LiveTV), you can always stop a recording.

Note, also, that there's no difference between recording with the 
PVR-350's encoder/playing back on the PVR-350's decoder and recording 
with a PVR-500 encoder/playing back on the PVR-350's decoder.  (In other 
words, neither way is more efficient than the other.)
