Oh man...you simply have to be kidding me.  It looks like there's NO
way to tell mythcommflag (when using the --allstart date option) to
skip LiveTV recordings.  I may have to scrap this if I can't.  Can
anyone think of a work-around?

This actually raises a larger question:  Does 0.21 allow for
AutoExpireLiveTVMaxAge to be set to zero?  That's one that's bugged me
since I first installed.  I always have LiveTV recordings hidden and,
once I change channels or exit LiveTV, I have no use for them.

I've posted once to see if anyone knew of a down side to changing it
manually to zero and never heard anything.  Given this new issue I
think I'm going to give it a try.
