Save Until Question

Got about 30% of the hard drive used, but some programmes are showing 'will be deleted within 3 days' - so I have to manually set them to stay until I delete them. Why would they be marked for deletion so soon with so much disk space?

Everything is set to record with the defaults - ie 'save until disk space needed'.

It's badly worded... the programmes will be marked for deleting, once space is needed by TiVo.

It is confusing....

They get tags a deletable by TiVo if you run out of space. If you never run out of space they will never be deleted.

Re: Save Until Question

No need to delete it from your Deleted Items folder. These programmes aren't counted when Tivo works out how much HD space is used.
