you just need to buy a second drive, keep recordings on one, media on another.

Or be overindulgent like I am, and have six 500GB drives for
recordings and six 2TB drives for media/etc storage =P

and never the two sets shall share duty!

Also, there is a setting in MythTV where you can tell it how much free
space it must maintain on a drive. If you are worried about not ever
having 50GB for that blu-ray rip, just set it to 100GB or whatever...
