why not setting a very small ring buffer ? As far as I know, it only affects liveTV. If you don't care too much about the possibility to rewind say an hour or whatever demanding a large ring buffer, then I think you can let live TV run without filling up your HD.<br>I don't really know, just a guess.<br><br>J.<br><br><br><b><i>Richard Freeman <r-mythtv@thefreemanclan.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> Brett Kosinski wrote:<br>> I read that message carefully, looked carefully throughout the frontend<br>> for a Delete menu that indicated current Live TV connections, and could<br>> not find one.
