Personally I would love to have an undelete facility. I'm one of those users who has autoexpire switched on, but who also manually deletes. I have autoexpire switched on as a "safety net" in case I haven't deleted enough shows before I get low on disk space - I'd rather lose something which obviously wasn't important enough to have watched yet, in favour of a new recording. This has happened a few times now because I have a tendency to tell Myth to record films to watch on a rainy day, which can obviously eat up space quite quickly.
Usually I manually delete after I've watched something, or sometimes just because I've changed my mind about a show and want to lose it from my Watch Recordings screen. Either way my motivation is to keep the Watch Recordings screen under control and only listing things I haven't watched yet. I can think of a few different situations that I have been in when I would have liked to have an undelete facility: 1) I had watched a recording and deleted it. A day or two later I was talking to a friend about it, but he'd missed it. If I'd been using a VCR there would have been a good chance of it still being present on the tape for him to watch, but with Myth it was gone forever. 2) At the moment I only have one tuner, so I occasionally get the end of one show on the start of another recording. I've lost count of the number of times I've watched the second show first, mentally noted that I mustn't delete it because it's got part of the other program on, then at the end of the show accidentally let my muscle memory take over. The fingertips do their automatic thing, and the recording is gone. 3) There have been one or two occasions when I've deleted something based on scathing comments about a show from one person, only to find that someone else thought it was really good. It would be nice to be able to undelete in this case to make my own mind up. Perhaps I just need more consistent friends ;) 4) There's been one occasion when I've deleted a show because I thought it was a late night repeat of one I'd already seen; it turned out that the broadcasters had decided to move the show to another timeslot.
