You don't need to be at home for mythtv to record stuff.

Presumably you or someone else left the system in 'Live TV' mode.
MythTV works by recording everything.  Previous Live TV recordings are
expired before anything else so you shouldn't lose any deliberate
recordings.

If you search this list you'll find *lots* of discussion on the merits
(or otherwise) of recording Live TV, so please don't add to it :-)
