Yea, I agree with you... and like someone else said, if my disk gets 3/4 full, I start watching shows (usually in time-stretch) or deleting ones I know I won't watch or don't want to keep anymore. However, I guess I also don't mind setting specific recordings to not-auto-expire. In the end, the critical shows won't purge and I usually don't have to worry about filling the hard disk anyway. Either way, I'm always a fan of more options unless it become too overwhelming to either use or for the developers to program. Thanks!
