    Default WinTV v7 Auto Records ... Help me please

    I just got a WinTV-HVR 950Q and using WinTV v7.

    My problem is whenever I watch a channel using WinTV v7 it starts recording and is eating up my hard drive. I don't have it to auto record or any kind of schedule.
    Theres a "Pause Buffer" folder i guess wintv installed and when I open it after starting to watch a program, theres recorded files (.ts)

    for example, files are called
    livetv-5735 (its 1.23 GB)
    livetv-5735-2 (its 868 MB and increasing as I type this)

    Theres a green bar that scrolls above the controls that indicates recording in process.
    I just want to watch channels without recording anything. Is there a setting to turn this function off?

    thanks

    Those files are used for timeshifting, so that you can pause or rewind live TV. When you close WinTV they will be deleted.

    I believe that there is a setting to disable timeshifting, if you really want to do that.

    Oh I see, Thank you. I just noticed when I change channels it will also delete the channel file i was watching and start up again on the new channel.

    If you could tell me how to disable timeshiftting , i would be grateful. Is this just a convenient feature of wintv? and can I disable it without causing any adverse effects to watching different channels.
    I don't need this feature and would rather have it leave my hard drive alone instead of recording.

    thanks

    I figured it out now changed disk buffering size to 0 minutes. now no more recording.
