Thanks, maybe its something I will have to keep an eye on although I use
kodi as my frontend (insert all of the Kodi jokes etc) and I delete the
shows once I watch them but I think it is recording shows that I have
watched.  I will try to watch it more closely and see if it is or not,
maybe Kodi when it tells it to delete it is doing something different, will
have to look at that also.

Thanks again
