As it doesn't make any difference to whether your disk fills up quicker 
  what is the point?

LiveTV recordings are automatically expired to make way for scheduled 
shows and to keep the minimum amount of disk space specified free .... 
I don't understand why so many people are complaining about this?

MythTV is a PVR and should treat your hardware as such. This is the way 
PVRs work.

The only change that anyone will notice with the extra recordings is the 
added functionality of having the LiveTV recording group, and possibly 
an average over-all increase in disk usage (which if you are not 
recording anything shouldn't change, and if you are will keep increasing 
as per usual).

Set it up properly and it shouldn't cause you any grief. It seems a lot 
of people are having a conceptual problem here.
