All other LiveTV recordings are expired according to your settings (default is after 1 day, I believe). You cannot specify a shorter time than 1 day to expire these. However, they will expire before any other program should you need room for other recordings/LiveTV. You also have the option of changing your Group Filter on the Watch Recordings screen to LiveTV and deleting them manually there - but there's no reason to manage your LiveTV recordings manually. Myth will handle it so don't stress about it. In fact, the developers have put a lot of thought into how to handle LiveTV recordings so you don't have to.</DIV><DIV><BR class="khtml-block-placeholder"></DIV><BR></DIV><BR></BODY></HTML>
