</div></div>In fact, this has never been the case (at least, not in any version<br>
you've run of Myth)-- Myth expects that the space made available to it<br>
belongs to it-- it will auto-expire liveTV after 24 hours, or when you<br>
fill the drive, whichever comes first, by default. Live TV will only<br>
stick around longer than 24 hours if the setting for that duration is<br>
set to longer.<br>
<br>
To the OP: You are seeing Live TV in the PBB because you have set the<br>
filter to show Live TV. You can turn that filter off and go on using<br>
myth as you always have, and live TV will be expired according to the<br>
policy you have set (or the defaults) as it always has.<br>

But then I dont record a lot so my disk never fills up so the system is not autoexpiring anything? </div>
