Mike,

I'm trying to parse that last sentence, and if I understand correctly,
are you saying that anything that gets auto-expired from any group
other than the Deleted recording group (even, say, the Default group)
it will get re-recorded, even if it was watched?  I thought it used to
be that if you watched something (or marked it as watched) and it
auto-expired it would not record again.

This may explain some recordings that I am seeing get recorded again,
even though I know I have watched it before.  I was thinking it was
because it was now available in HD, and I had recorded it in SD before
or something like that.  I notice it a lot on Mythbusters and Man v
Food, and a few other shows, but others seem to work the way I
expected.
