Can I make Myth TV not record live TV when I don't want it? Let's say I am doing something data bound on my MythTV box and I don't want mythtv to add to the load by recording live TV. Can I do that?

I am at work right now but it just hit me that I am using v4l standard device for my tuner setup. I used to have a tv wonder and after I ditched it I did not change it. You are right about my /dev/dsp but I can fix it but making arts not startup with kde. As a new user I have been trying to read howtos, tutorials, mailing list archives, etc. Thanks again...
