[mythtv-users] killing backend

[norman]

I have not been able to solve a problem I have regarding unwanted hd
activity resulting from some malfunction associated with the backend.
The rattling away by the hd for 5 minutes every half hour is driving me
nuts and the only way I can think of, to stop me tearing my last few
hairs out, is to stop Mythtv working all together. So, please help me,
how do I stop Mythtv working?
