I realize that this is your baby, but that has to be one of the rudest and most abrupt answers I have ever received from anyone in answer to a question about group development project. First off, this software is fantastic. One of the things that makes it fantastic is that it is very configurable and very easy to make it behave like each user requires or prefers. To just suddenly nix a piece of functionality because you don't agree with it, especially without some discussion or explanation is incredibly unjust. Lastly, being a software developer myself for 15 years, I know that all software benefits the most by making it accessible for the broadest range of users. The easy, simple, correct way to do that is to allow options and to allow multiple configurations. Does anyone else think that it would be too hard to make this optional or to create a quicker auto-expire functionality to the LiveTV Recordings? If you have information that direction, then I'll even write the patch if you can point me in the correct direction. -Todd
