I think I found that last night will fiddling around. I noted that it 
said that if it was set to -1 nothing would be deleted until space was 
needed. Since I don't use the machine for anything else, I decided to 
try it. I'll see what happens this evening when we watch something 
recorded today.

Where in MythWeb do you see that? I looked through much of it and didn't 
see that setting.
