watching livetv, since livetv is stored on the other disk.

reside within the /myth/shows2 directory.

No you won't have access to them. Move them to /myth/shows3.

You may then have a lot of space left on the /mny/shows2 drive. It can be
profitably used for videos or photos or music.

Mike, what about a 'watch from but don't record to' storage group type?
Actually I guess that pretty well matches a description of the videos
