Well, I just tried it again and it stopped recording. However, either
there is some specific case where it keeps recording, or that logic
changed sometime in the last 2 years. I built my current set of
machines during the 0.21 development period. I know at one point I had
deleted a show, and then a bit later I noticed the tuner was still
busy. So I went into the deleted group and there was the deleted show,
still highlighted in the color that indicates a recording in process.
I brought up the menu for it and chose stop recording and then
everything was fine.

Sorry for giving you info that is apparently outdated.
