    I do this for a living and if you request it we can respect your wishes and turn off the live feed TV while recording.
    To ease your worry I can add that we’ve done so many that it’s just background noise to us, we only pay attention to when something weird happens like flickering or other damaged tape type stuff. We only really look at it in the first few seconds when we start the recording to make sure everything is running smoothly. During processing we watch at very high speed playback just to ensure there’s no long dead gaps or someone accidentally filmed a 1 hour close up of the floor. Stranger’s special moments are extremely dull to us and we don’t care. :)
