Ah it's just a scheduler's feature, of course that's needed, I'm using it all the time, provided the EPG data is correct, which it often is not, at least where I'm standing. > > > - Set Reminder (Remind me when a show is on..maybe via a popup > > > telling > > > me the show I set a reminder for is about to start... want to > > > watch > > > it?) > > > > I'm not sure, that seems redundant with schedules - just record and > > maybe hint the user that a recording started. > > True in a way but, one of the best used features of the Sky+ Box in > the UK is this.

Yeah of course you need such a notification, Myth uses a popup here that asks if you want to watch the game or record and watch the scheduled recording. HD space is another matter, I like Myth's approach here - mostly it eats up all space up until a 'low disk space' limit is reached and starts deleting oldest recordings to keep the set amount of disk space free. LiveTV recordings are deleted at most X (user set X) days after recording. You can set recordings to autoexpire - then they're being deleted automagically, or not - then they won't get deleted until you do it - just as in the linked TiVo video. Recordings can also have priorities which help decide what to record (higher priority will get recorded before lower priority unless there isn't another showing of lower priority and there is another of higher priority) and delete (highest age divided by priority or something similar will get deleted first). > Ah you are thinking of the actual video file...
