The new LiveTV architecture treats everything as a mini-recording. Each time you change channels, it creates a new recording. Unless you want to be "forced" to manually delete every little recording that collects in your directory while you're channel surfing, auto-expire must be enabled. > Now I have to go through all my existing recordings and make sure > they do not have the flag set?

As Chris mentioned elsewhere in this thread, this is easily done with 2 SQL statments. > Thankfully Mythtv is open source and I can patch out AutoExpire. Yes, you can, but I don't recommend it. Use the SQL statements to turn it off for your existing recordings, and default it to "off" for new recordings in the setup. > Just seems silly for something of this nature. We ridicule what we don't understand... I hope I've explained it sufficiently.
