Did you "finish" deleting the recordings?  Go into Watch Recordings and 
use MENU to Change Group View, then select Deleted, then MENU|Add This 
Group to Playlist, then MENU|Playlist Options|Delete , and MythTV will 
remove the recordings from the disk.  Once that's done there should be 
room to record.  If it still doesn't allow you to record (or if there's 
nothing in the Deleted recording group for you to delete), we can look 
at other things (like checking your database for crashed tables with 
optimize_mythdb.pl).
