 recorded by design).

 I found out later on about using tmpfs.  But I searched the bug database
 and there was no mention of continuous writing to harddisk even when
 watching tv.  Thanks for your explanation.  I am now enjoying and loving
 using mythtv :) I did try to help a little by telling and advertising
 mythtv to my colleagues :)
