I believe that 'R' in LiveTV just toggles whether a recording will be saved (by moving it out of the LiveTV group into the default recording group), I don't think it says "record the rest of this program" anymore). > > Long LiveTV recordings (ie, > 1 minute long) will expire the same as normal > > programs but htey have their autoexpire field set to 10000 which causes > > LiveTV recordings to expire before normal recordings. > > > So what defines their lifetime?

They expire just like normal recordings, so their lifetime is determined by how much disk space you have free. The only LiveTV recordings that expire even when you have lots of free space available are the short (< 1 minute) recordings. Short LiveTV programs should be expired every 2 minutes (on even-numbered minutes) if they have not been in use for the past minute. This handles cleaning up all the short recordings left around from channel surfing. Normal AutoExpire runs every 5 or 10 minutes (on the 5's and 10's for the 5-minute frequency and on the 10's for 10-minute frequency). The normal autoexpire expires files in order to free up disk space based on the threshold you set in setup. LiveTV is ordered first in the expire list because LiveTV recordings have a autoexpire value of 10000 while normal normal recordings have their autoexpire set to 0 (do not autoexpire) or 1 (allow autoexpire). -- Chris
