[mythtv-users] HDhomerun constantly talking even when not recording.

First off, I'm running 0.21 under Ubuntu 9.04, mostly because it's
working now, and I'll upgrade when I upgrade the machine.  I've just
gottten an HD homerun (thanks Woot!) and I couldn't be happier with it
(it's lightyears better than the Pinnacle USB dongle I was using).
However, it seems really really chatty on the network, even when I'm
not recording anything.  I see around 300kBits per second coming over
the network to my backend when (ostensibly) nothing is going on.

When I shutdown mythbackend, it stops.  When I start mythbackend, it
starts up again after a few minutes.  I'll repeat myself: Nothing is
being recorded at this time.  I'm not (actively) scanning channels.
No front ends are active.  Nothing.  However, one of the tuners _is_
active on the HDhomerun so _something_ (connected to mythbackend) is
going on.  How can I be not watching and watching at the same time?

One more thing I tried: Power cycle the HDHR.  Network usage comes
back after a little while, no messages in mythbackend.log

Any ideas (besides "Dude, you need to upgrade!")?  Thanks in advance.
