Is it recording what you were just watching?  Mine has been doing that
since upgrading to 0.28.  I have 2 HDPVRS and when I watch livetv, then
exit, it acts as if I pressed the record button and continues to record
that channel even though I exited Live TV.  Then when I go back in to
Live TV, it has to use the alternate HDPVR.  If I do this twice, it then
consumes both HDPVRs and won't record anything I had scheduled if it
conflicts.  I haven't been able to get any response nor find any setting
that might affect this behavior.
