Thanks for answering all of my questions. I was about to add a little
blurb to that wiki page adding what you explained to me in this
thread. The page gives you a good case for making a decision about
using storage groups or not, but it isn't quite clear how to not do
it. Basically, as I understand it now if you are using storage groups
you set them up in mythtv-setup, and leave the frontend alone (or
clear out any old incorrect info there). If you don't want to use
storage groups you don't define them in mythtv-setup and set things up
in the frontend settings. I can try and add that in if you want, or
would you rather me leave it alone to avoid any erroneous info
creeping in there?
