If you don't need the space right now, you might want to wait a while,
possibly until v0.20 is out.  One of the features that several people have
expressed interest in working on (including me) now that 0.19 is out
is the concept of 'Storage Groups' where you can specify multiple
recording directories and assign recordings to them on a
per-scheduled-recording basis.  One of these could be a LiveTV Storage
Group, so you could point that towards your dedicated drive and regain
the 0.18-type functionality.
