I did the same thing when I was setting up/testing firewire recording, but
in addition, I scanned through the "Upcoming Recordings" list every
weekend, just to make sure nothing was scheduled for that tuner - and put
an override for anything that was.
Unless someone goes in to LiveTV and picks channels from that tuner, you
should be safe.
