I still do it the old-fashioned way. TV recordings are temporary,
Videos are long-term. /myth/tv and /myth/video are separate
volumes and disc devices.
If random bit of TV is worth keeping, it either gets
archived onto a DVD for my wife to use at school,
or I move it into the videos directory.
Storage groups have probably complicated this a little,
but there used to be a script that could be run as a
"User Job" to move a TV recording into the videos dir.
