Any way to disable the CPU-hogging "TV-on-demand" feature in ATI AIW card(s)?

I have a AIW 128 Pro and every time the TV starts/Guide Plus app starts and I click on watch, the TV on demand feature is enabled and eats up about 50-60% of CPU b/c of video capture of live TV.

The button in the ATI TV window that allows you to toggle between review the captured, "on-demand" video doesn't control whether or not video is captured during regular TV viewing. So you can be in the watch-TV mode but will still be recording the 10sec. - 3min (user seleted) duration of past TV show.

Though I am glad the system is fast enough to only reach 50-60% load during this; it's starting to get annoying.

Can someone second this problem and/or provide a solution please? Thanks.
